To be fair - OP isn't wrong. There has been a lot of "pearl-clutching" about nothing-burger issues since 2016. This era has throwbacks to the 80s moral-majority/church-lady culture, with a sprinkling of "The Satanic Panic" and "McCarthyism".

There is no right wing media ecosystem. There is Fox, which I’ve literally never once in my life watched and have made fun of for two decades. Then there are a bunch of rinky-dink outlets no one even knows. There is however, a giant, ubiquitous, controlling ecosystem of liberal media and news and information outlets who we all used to rely on for being at least pretty much objective which I’ve grown insanely f-ing sick of and find beyond disgraceful (they’re all now far worse and more shameful than Fox ever was) since around 2016
