What progressive/left shows do you watch and/or listen to?

[deutsey]

Not Internet sites with written texts. I also don't mean mainstream corporate TV.

What radio and video programs do you listen to?

Me, I watch Democracy Now! Example: http://www.democracynow.org/2011/1/25/do_you_know_the_full_story

And listen to shows on KPFA:

Against the Grain: http://www.againstthegrain.org/

Letters and Politics: http://www.kpfa.org/node/54209

Guns and Butter (I don't always agree with everything on here, but it's still worth a listen: http://www.kpfa.org/archive/show/34

1. Thom, Ed and Norm on radio

Seattle AM 1090

One can listen online anywhere.

[wryter2000]

3. I either listen to them

Or progressive radio out of Chicago. The same line-up with Hartmann and Ed reversed.

Stephanie Miller
Ed Schultz
Thom Hartmann
Norman Goldman

At home, I watch Rachel O'Donnell, and Olbermann (or, did. :cry:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Exactly

[doc03]

2. I can't get any on the radio, sometimes I

watch MSNBC.

[deutsey]

5. If you can, check out radio online.

KPFA, Peter Werbe are just a couple.

Especially stations like KPFA which has archives you can access online anytime.

10. Green 960 has some good left shows on -you can access online

4. You shouldn't dismiss totally entertaining TV

like the new "Harry's Law" had a lot of liberal speeches in it and "Supernatural" sticks it to repubs all the time in their verbal interchanges...this is how the repubs get the tea type of people - through emotion.

[deutsey]

6. I'm not totally dismissing anything.

Just trying to put the spotlight on media that isn't as easy to access as the crap, I mean, programming on mainstream TV.

Before we entertain ourselves to death, we on the left/progressive side need first to know our story/history/philosophy.

That's one reason we're so fucked up: we buy into the center/right narrative and don't know we should be promoting an alternative.

[bigwillq]

12. "The Good Wife"

has a progressive bent to it. Good show. Good acting; writing. Set in Chicago. Very topical.

[Upton]

20. I like it too..

it's become my second favorite network show, after Criminal Minds.

[bigwillq]

22. I love Criminal Minds.

Haven't seen too many of this season's episodes. I work second shift. Don't watch a lot of primetime shows. From Sept-Dec, I had Tuesday's off, so I was able to watch Good Wife pretty much every week.

[Alameda]

27. I love that show....I think it's the great females in the cast!

Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski and Archie Panjabi....if nothing else....it's progressive via the great actresses.

[BOG PERSON]

31. "harry's law" is awful though

and it's ruining my opinion of kathy bates.

[TxVietVet]

7. I just moved to north of Houston.

I had been living and working in SE wisconsin. I would listen to WCPT AM & FM during the day while driving from job to job. Stephanie Miller, Ed and Thom were on all day. In the evening, I would watch Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.

Now, I live in Podunk, TX. There is NO MSNBC on cable. AM radio has pulpit pimps that sub as conservanazi hate talkers. They are also on FM. The little town I live in has a good FM station that plays country music that sounds like country music. Houston's radio spectrum sucks. I was spoiled in Wisconsin and Illinois.

Internet is pitiful. I have Virgin Mobile MiFi. I can at least catch WCPT online. Let me know of some other good progressive stations online.

[EFerrari]

8. Laura Flanders / Grit TV.

GayUSA on Free Speech TV (Saves my gay friends explaining things to me in little words.)

Mosaic (Middle East news) on LINK TV. Viewpoint with James Zogby, ditto.

[Agent William]

9. TYT; done. nt

[Shandris]

11. I watch Keith (not anymore, duh), Rachel, Ed, and Lawrence.

That's about all Indiana has to offer me.

I once caught an AM program out of LA on a very very cloudy night with JUST the right refraction of signal I'm guessing, and that was good. Can't remember the guy's name, but I sure wish he was on around here. Never heard him again though. Instead, we have 3 channels of Rush Limbaugh, followed by Glenn Beck, followed by two consecutive local righties, followed by Sean Hannity, followed by a rerun of Rush Limbaugh.

Naturally it's the most popular station in the area.

[TxVietVet]

13. If you're close to Chicago, try to find WCPT, 920 AM.

They have two FM stations also.

[deutsey]

24. Check out some of the online links in this thread n/t

15. Stephanie Miller

She and the boys make me larf (which helps me deal with all the right-wing lunacy).

[JuniperLea]

17. It's like fart jokes at a Mensa meeting!

Yep. She and the Mooks are my fav.

I listen to Randi once in a while, Thom Hartman sometimes, Malloy when I can catch him. I love when Brad Friedman fills in for someone!

I like CSPAN... and I watch the Sunday "Funnies" just to count the lies.

[Webster Green]

16. KPFA: Democracy Now!, Flashpoints, Guns & Butter, KPFA Evening News.

Green 960 AM San Francisco: Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, Karel, Mike Malloy, Alan Colmes, Norman Goldman, Bill Press. I wish they hadn't dropped Ed Shultz from their radio lineup. I like Big Eddie, but I don't watch TV.

Also...off topic, but the KPFA blues show from noon till 2PM (Pacific) on Saturdays is most excellent.

[Initech]

18. Does that count Stewart, Colbert, and Maher?

[zbdent]

19. Oddly enough, here in "Democrat controlled" Northeast Ohio, where Clear Channel

reigns, and one of the afternoon loudmouths laments that it's disgusting with "liberals" ...

pretty much all you can get are conservative talkers on the terrestrial radio talk stations ... talk about "giving the people what they want" ... ya'd think that, if the audience is constantly voting for liberals (Kucinich) and Democrats, there would be a market for "liberal" radio talk ...

Don't give me the B.S. that "They tried it with X" ... first, Jerry Springer didn't translate well onto the radio up here (try imagining throwing a chair on the radio ... kinda like "mime for radio") ... second, when they had 1350AM ... there was no media push for it like there was when Rush Limbaugh was on the air (and I have the newspaper advertisements to prove it when Rush came into the Cleveland airwaves)

BTW ... when I'm able, I listen online to AM1090 out of Seattle online.

[delightfulstar]

23. Now that we're missing KO for a few months...

Democracy Now, and anything on NPR, PBS, FSTV, or Link TV.

[hwmnbn]

25. Stephanie Miller, Rachel Maddow,

The Young Turks, and sometimes The Ed Show and Last Word

[Alameda]

26. Democracy Now, Grit TV, Mosaic...................

I have Dish and like their line up. For radio I mostly listen to KPFA (really upset about the thing with the Morning Show) and some KALW. I listen to radio pretty much all day...........Me too, I don't always agree with some of KPFA, but it's worth listening to. If I disagree, I send an email. I love Harry Shearer's Le Show on KALW. http://www.harryshearer.com/news/le_show/

edited to add Jon Stewart....some Colbert...but I love Jon

[deutsey]

28. Check out analysis/coverage of the SOTU on www.kpfa.org

[martymar64]

29. TYT Subscriber

[aaaaaa5a]

30. Rachel Maddow!

She is the best. Although with her new found popularity I still miss her old radio show that she use to have in Air America Radio. Her "burring the lead" segment was the best thing on radio.

[BOG PERSON]

32. n/t

[MrsCorleone]

33. Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, and Marc Maron.

Have to podcast all, since there are zero progressive stations in my region, just wall to wall RW radio. Would love to add Hal Sparks' Sat show to the line-up, but no podcasts available.

[deutsey]

34. I'm familiar with few of these and will check out the ones I don't know

I think we all should listen to and support these outlets.

If you still want to watch MSNBC and other corporate networks, that's fine. But don't limit yourself to that. There's a lot of good progressive news programs out there.

[jtown1123]

35. The Young Turks, Majority Report
