If you want to learn what the left is thinking, go to reputable lefty sites where there is evidence of actual thinking.

Normally, I'd agree with you. But since Howard Dean and his ilk are heading the DNC now, and we all know his screams, I'm not sure what is a reliable "lefty" site any more. Does Joe Liberman or Zell Miller have a blog or current website? They are reliable "lefties", IMO.

Your issue is whether the outlets are making that information available to viewers.

Yes, you're right. But we need to know what the sources of the material is from everyone. If it's a personal opinion, then we look at why the outlet thought it was necessary to have that person share their opinion. If there are two people, doing a point-counterpoint, then we know why. If not, the outlet is giving someone free advertising for whatever reason.

And as far as Moveon.org, or ANSWER, or the like, the ONLY reason to even know what is happening there is that LOTS of money by George Soros funds Moveon, and Ramsey Clark funds ANSWER. Clark has other sites he funds as well. Moveon tried to unseat the President by spending hundreds of millions of dollar to do it....Soros said he would spend his fortune to do that...at the time, $16 BILLION was at least the open number.

Money seems to buy all sorts of advertising, even if it is wrong as well as biased.
