Is this actually true though? The right, specifically neo-conservatives, have basically demonized academia into irrelevancy and mainstream journalism mostly exists in the centre of the political spectrum. And I'd even argue that mainstream journalism has far more high-profile far-right outlets than far-left ones in Fox News, Breitbart, talk-radio, etc. The left obviously has its own outlets in HuffPost, Salon, etc., but most of those are still toeing centrist or centre-left line economically. I'm having a hard time coming up with the names of any high-profile Marxist mediums.
To the rest of your post, it just kind of reminds me of this.
