So I lurk a lot, both keep sane during the week, and to pick up some story ideas. I wanted to make this post a while ago and chickened out, but seeing that post about Maddow fawning over Biden's new dog made me want to try with this account again.

US media is absolutely a big-L Liberal institution. But you'd be surprised how many socialists, or socdems at least, write for smaller and mid-size newsrooms. So AMA about trying to be a reporter with leftist views in a decidedly anti-left racket, or about the inner workings of American news outlets that aren't CNN, MSNBC or Fox.

    I think the fact that I was raised on public access talk shows makes Citations Needed just scratch this weird itch for me. It's one of the few podcasts that I'm actually engaged with when I'm listening.

      Same. I can’t stand the podcasts where all the dudes fart and burp into mics, but Citations Needed is just right.

        I listen to WTYP and Citations Needed so that covers all my bases pretty well

        I listen to Citations Needed when I want to learn and be very engaged. I listen to West Wing Thing if I want something more entertaining, especially when I’m doing a monotonous video game task like grinding or map clearing.

        I used to listen to Bad Faith a little bit, but that got exhaustingly liberal and awkward because of Virgil shenanigans.

          Luckily Virgil has escaped the third dimension so he's not around making it awkward atm
