A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

‘New media’ committing ‘old media’ errors?
The news side of Talking Points Memo, writing about whether President Barack Obama supports or opposes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s latest effort on a public option on national healthcare uses an anonymous source from the White House. There’s no national security involved, or even close to it, so I don’t want to see Josh Marshall complain so much about anonymous sourcing in the future.
