That is just a common mistake in the way the leftwing/progressive/Trump hating media is refered as. They may even do it themselves in an attempt to be more relevent and self important.

In actual fact Fox News is watched by more people that CNN or MSNBC. It's not even close. So yes Fox News is mainstream. It's just not left wing mainstream.

Some middle Eastern countries can be very backwards. However, certain countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, if certain conditions are met, will cut off the hands and / or fingers of the thieves. Iran has built machines to amputate the fingers of thieves or adulterers. Saudia Arabia will just cut off your hand. I don't think either of these countries have " sticky finger syndrome" problems. I think in some cases, this might be a good thing to institute.

^ that would sure scare some wannabe-thieves away, however what to do with this man? He has been caught 139 times, he does not look like the brightest of thieves.

On the other hand, if you introduce this sharia here, what to do with him after losing 10 fingers, and/or two hands after 12 shop liftings

^ While that may be true, it's hard to argue with it's value as a deterrence
