Why the Lack of Progressive News Media in America

Democratic leaders rationalize away the need for a "left-wing noise machine":

"We told the people the truth, once on MSNBC and once in the NYT. If people want to continue to believe Luntz's lies, as repeated ad nauseum by Fox and Rush, then that's their choice. Plus, if there's a Primary fight, like between Obama and Clinton, then the 'left-wing noise machine' will have to decide between them, and that will make us Democrats look disorganized. Besides, there's always NPR and the blogs and the Daily Show."
