It's pretty sad that when I want to hear some genuine voices from the Left I have to turn to an outfit like RT. You're sure not going to hear this kind of criticism on any of mainstream media outlets within the United States.
Anyone who says our media is Leftist... immediately loses credibility with me. They've fallen for the Right/Left propaganda of the mainstream. The differences are minimal. They mainstream varieties operate from the same assumptions. What they call Left/Right is just establishment.
The trick is they have most of the public embracing the assumptions and then focusing heavily on the intramural debate... a debate which never questions or touches the fundamental assumptions.
You only get part of the Who, almost none of the What, the only When is what is within recent memory, very little of the Where, and next to nothing in terms of How.
There are vibrant dissenting groups on the Right and the Left but they will not be heard... even on FOX and MSNBC.
Below is a link to fairly short article concerning Cornel West on the Obama administration. Whether you like West or not it's worth the read. These folks will just laugh when people suggest Obama is the most Left-wing president ever, or a socialist or Marxist. The folks who make these accusations either are unfamiliar with the definitions of these terms or are unaware of any real news. They've been watching the mainstream news shows and are in a state of almost complete ignorance.
