There's something, isn't it? The UK and America have a strong right wing media presence that have attacked socialism for years. Socialist policies are generally more appealing to the general public as most blind policy tests keep proving, yet if you tell some people that they are socialist policies, they then think they're dreadful.

In both America and the UK, socialist politicians are the ones crucified by the media. The right wing media is run by those with lots of money. Isn't it odd that, across lots of other countries where the media isn't necessarily run by right wing billionaires, that socialism and centre left politics are much more common?
