There are no Liberal media. There is no Progressive bias to the mainstream media. It is a narrative used by the right to neuter the media which tempers reporting about the lies that define their ideology. It is for this reason that Progressive bloggers and sites are of utmost importance now.
There are many Progressive sites out there. This is my growing preferred list. Please share this page to get these sites promoted.
