      The right owns talk radio, then the internet, and now they have a monopoly on podcasts too.

      I'd argue they dominate TV too, just less so.

      What media/entertainment forms truly belong to the left? And does the left dominate any of the above in non-English language spheres?

        Kids TV... for reals though. It's the one media where you are actually taught to be a good person, to share, do good for others/your community, and deal with feelings in a healthy manner. It's also very hard for the Chuds to fight it because it means they have to admit that a lot of their beliefs are founded in hate, fear, and selfishness.

          Does anime qualify for this too? Even if there are some shows geared for adults?

          Naruto preaches that hard work > "talent" or "destiny". Ghibli movies are all about appreciating the mundane, especially nature. and don't even get me started on full metal alchemist.

              By all means:

              • The story deals with a lot of commentary on war, racism, imperialism, and even some sexism.

              One of my favorite characters, Scar, is a victim of an ethnic cleansing of his people that he wants to fight against. Hell, the nation of amestris is a pretty fashy state.

              Lastly, it warns against of the things that CHUDs love to do the most: play God.

              That's all I can say without spoiling too much.

                Oh I've seen fmab so I'd like to see a deeper analysis because I have never really seen anyone comment on the politics of it

            Some yes some no, I feel most is aimed more towards teens so tends to be a bit more lib about having to compromise ideals etc.
