The last time I was forced to watch CNN (in a waiting area at O'Hare) Wolf Blitzer was doing an hour-long infomercial (disguised as news) in which he told us all how totally wonderful it is that the rockets and the rest of the aerospace industry are being completely privatized. This is pro-capitalist, not left. The Guardian is a reliable mouthpiece for establishment beliefs -- pro-war, etc. Mother Jones fell hook line and sinker for Russiagate, and hasn't apologized. MSNBC was even worse, with their highest paid "news" anchor inventing wild scare stories about the Russians turning off our heating. The New Republic was a leading cheerleader for the Iraq war, even as more careful news reporters were warning that the war was based on lies. Both The NY Times and the Washington Post are well known to be official spokesmen for the military/industrial complex. Corporate press in the US has no "left."

Russell Brand is my main news source because he is an independent intellectual who has not sold himself to corporate overlords.
![[Image: MngLEvUp_o.jpg]](https://images2.imgbox.com/d5/3f/MngLEvUp_o.jpg) But seriously, my news sources usually lean toward the truth. I don't bother with Fox News since they are proven liars so does that make me a leftist?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Bel has a point. Corporate news is all right leaning - handily dispensing with any batshit notions that the disconnect between people in the us comes down to liberal bias in preferred media.
OFC, sputnik, grayzone, and rt are all right leaning as well, as mouthpieces for a more open (though arguably not more thorough or complete) corporatist oligarchy than our own.
