Does it? Example of what you mean?

Note it appears a majority of Facebooks top ten posts are from right wing sources. [1] This is not me suggesting a bias on the part of FB, but it‘s a clear data point against the now common talking point that “the right” are persecuted victims, not fairly represented on the Internet.

There’s more concentration of media on the right. It’s why Fox News can have the highest ratings in spite of the media being dominated by the left.

You have to look at the long tail of content and the distribution over all content. How many smaller right wing creators are censored vs left wing?
