Although MSNBC is not by any means leftist - it is more in the moderately liberal category and no doubt some people do interpret their moderately/liberal bent as representing the left - It is as they say -still better than nothing. The same could be said about the offiical established Democratic Party - At their very,very best -they represent a moderately/liberal leaning tendency -But there are not enought left-wingers amongst them to swing a cat at - Nonetheless they are what we have to work with in these trying times when the crazy right-wing is now mainstream and progressive thinking has been pushed to the margins. Still like with MSNBC they are better than nothing and a whole lot better than the alternative of having no counterbalance or counterpoint at all.
