None of the mainstream networks, for certain. Some shows on MSNBC, maybe, but certainly not the whole channel.

Do you mean radio- and web-based shows like Democracy Now!? Magazines like The Nation?

What is this "left wing media" of which you speak?

Because if you use "left wing media" to describe mainstream sources, you are using a definition of "left wing" that does not involve facts and logic but instead accepts the terminology of the Conservative Movement and everybody else on the ranting-crank Right.

And you should stop doing that.

Yes I'm well aware of JPR. Initech Feb 2023 #15

Oh, I see. That makes more sense with the additional context. nt mathematic Feb 2023 #17
