Capitalism's Safety Net: News Media and the Far Right


Overview

The influence of news coverage on the rise of far-right ideologies is undeniable. To better understand the potential impact of the liberal media on the development of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, racist, or reactionary views, it is essential to explore the connection between dominant ideology and the role of news organizations in society. Using my analytical framework, I demonstrate how the mass media leverages the “safety net” to bolster far-right candidates and parties and weaken radical left-wing political groups and social movements, particularly during capitalist crises. My project goes beyond scrutinizing commercial media and critically analyzes the capitalist mode of production.
