Mainstream Neutrality Bias

The assumption that ideas circulated by mainstream institutions—major media outlets, established publishers, popular platforms—represent a neutral middle ground between fringe extremes. The Mainstream Neutralist treats the Overton Window as if it were reality itself, rather than a socially constructed range of acceptable debate. They forget that today's mainstream was yesterday's radical fringe and will be tomorrow's obsolete relic. The mainstream isn't neutral—it's just where power has currently settled.
"I just read the centrist newspaper—they're not biased like those crazy partisan sites," she said, unaware that her "centrist" paper had an editorial board, a corporate owner, and a demographic of readers whose interests shaped every story. Mainstream Neutrality Bias: when the middle of the road is still a road, built somewhere, going somewhere.
