Depends on the medium. Media which are primarily funded by advertising tend toward the right. Media which are primarily funded by direct payment (eg, cinema) tend toward the left. That's why movies like Fahrenheit 9/11 and its kindred are huge hits, but at the same time you almost never see similar viewpoints on talk radio or cable news. It's just each viewpoint finding its natural medium.
