VOX: Politics isn't about who you love. It's about who you fear. In the US, the Right is much better at creating and focusing fear of the left. They have the edge in the media, despite the "liberal media" story. They preach fear all day long on talk radio and FOX news. Where's the left's equivalent? Comedy Central is probably it. MSNBC has a couple of shows that try but they don't compare with the right's voice. CNN and the other networks are pretty middle of the road (terrible). They may have some liberal stories but they're not promoting fear like Rush or Fox.
The internet is a different story. Both sides do fear pretty well there.
