Am I missing something, it sounds like some of the media on the left

[JRLeft]

aren't concerned about the cons voter suppression effort. It looks like it is going to succeed.

[renate]

1. it's hard to believe, isn't it?

But since making a big deal about it could get them accused of being left-wing, they're probably just going to tiptoe around it.

Welcome to DU!

[JRLeft]

5. Thanx, this voter block effort has me greatly concerned.

2. Asking voters to pay for and show ID to vote for a guy who will not disclose his tax history.

Yeah.

That should work.

3. Link?

4. "aren't" not "isn't"

[JRLeft]

7. Thanx for the grammar correction, I used singular instead plural.

6. What "media on the left" are you referring to?

And DON'T say "MSNBC" or "CNN."

[JRLeft]

8. I am listening to Sirius Left and the topic is being ignored by Media Matters radio.

13. Doesn't Media Matters report on what Corporate Media...

has covered for the week? I don't watch CM, but I'm pretty sure the newsbunnies are not discussing voter suppression around the country.

You'll find reliable coverage at Democracy Now!, Bill Moyers, The Nation, Think Progress, American Prospect, etc. Here's a piece that offers a couple of Philly organizations to volunteer with if you're interested:

Pennsylvania's Other Voter ID Battle
A coalition of groups is doing what you'd expect the state to do: help voters get the necessary ID.

9. Welcome to DU. The left media I read, listen and watch are very much on it.

Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Cenk Uygur, Bill Press, the Current TV Governors Spitzer and Granholm. Thom Hartmann and his guest hosts, Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris Perry. Turn off CNN, FOX News and any Clear Channel talk radio. Print media is a little harder, but I think you will find "The Nation" does a good job of it.

The suppression is succeeding but there are grass roots efforts forming in the states concerned to help people who are being targeted to get their voter ID.

The sad part about our media access is that the truth tellers are relegated to low power radio stations that don't reach everyone and obscure cable channels that everyone doesn't get. News magazines like the nation aren't sold in the supermarkets. I find much of those shows can be streamed on the internet and print media can be found there as well. It's true though the majority left is being marginalized by the large corporate media corporations who hog most of the media, which they use for propaganda, ignoring important news stories and just spreading disinformation.

10. I do wish there was more news about this

But think known liberal pundits have done a lot together the news out. We need a site with comprehensive information compiled for each state so that voters can make sure they will be able to vote. Is there one?

[Junkdrawer]

11. Yes, you're missing something...

12. It was a segment on Melissa Harris Perry just this morning!

I think Chris Hayes has already dealt with it and probably will again.

But if you mean Morning Joe, yep. Nary a peep from him on voter suppression...

14. Thanks for stopping in, Mr. Hannity.
