On The New Abnormal, Media Matters' Kayla Gogarty explains how some right-leaning online shows are "advertising as one thing, but actually getting into politics and maybe to unwitting audiences"

A recent study by Media Matters indicates a stark dominance of right-wing content in the podcast and streaming landscape. This research was motivated by the growing influence of online shows in shaping public dialogue, especially after recent elections. Media Matters evaluated shows with political leanings by comparing self-descriptions of the content and audience engagement metrics. The findings highlight a fragmented media space, illustrating that conservative content not only prevails in quantity but also in audience reach, influencing broader societal conversations.

We gathered a list of popular online shows and whittled it down to shows that are often political and have a clear left-leaning or right-leaning ideological bent.

As online shows have become popular and trusted news sources, their role in shaping the public discourse is pretty undeniable.

We also assessed YouTube and Rumble channel views as another way to assess audience size.

We wanted to show people just how fragmented this landscape is and how much the right is dominating this landscape.
