Pastors from traditional churches are reportedly using their "strident" opposition to mainstream social trends as a recruitment tool, rejecting what they call "gummy bear Jesus."

John C. Dvorak describes the internal hierarchy of newsrooms, noting a lack of conservative voices among reporters and editors. The hosts argue that the mainstream media is out of touch with society and failed to predict its own decline or the rise of Donald Trump.

SiriusXM Channel 127, known as "Progress," is described as a hub for aggressive left-wing talk radio. The content is characterized as featuring racially charged rhetoric and smug political commentary from hosts and callers alike.

The program "Democracy Now," hosted by Amy Goodman, is criticized for its dour production style and perceived progressive bias. While the show features long-form interviews that avoid soundbite culture, it is viewed by some as being just as ideologically driven as Fox News, albeit from the opposite end of the political spectrum.
