Liberal news site ThinkProgress shutting down

[Poiuyt]

Liberal news website ThinkProgress is shutting down after its parent organization said it was unable to find a new publisher for the site.

The site was a project of The Center for American Progress (CAP) think tank, which announced news of its closure on Friday.

"We are very sad to announce that after more than two months of searching, we have been unable to identify a new publisher for ThinkProgress, and we are left with no choice but to close ThinkProgress as an independent enterprise focused on original reporting," Navin Nayak, executive director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, said in a statement.

ThinkProgress will stop operating Friday, according to the Daily Beast, which first reported the closure. It was launched in 2005 during the George W. Bush administration.

The liberal news site is expected to be folded into CAP's online presence and focus on analysis from CAP scholars and CAP Action staff.

1. We need to heavily invest in publicly supported media. The right have huge corporate money

and billionaire support. We're losing people in rural America because progressive media has slowly disappeared from their stations. We rely on individual donations to support our independent journalists while most of America has consistent right wing talk radio - brought to them for free by the richest people in the US. Maybe our candidates will address this.
