Clinton ally and liberal Super PAC operator David Brock told reporters Tuesday that he plans to create a new outlet designed to serve as a counterpoint to alt-right website Breitbart.

Brock purchased liberal website BlueNationReview in 2015, rebranding it in 2016 as “ShareBlue.” ShareBlue, he said Tuesday, would be the “Breitbart of the left…” so long as the financial contributions kept pouring.

Brock also confirmed earlier reports that he plan to shift the focus of Media Matters for America away from Fox News and more towards attacking the alt-right and fake news. “A lot of

Isn’t that what MoveOn, Huffington Post, & MediaMatters think they are? Of course, Breitbart is eating their lunch.

Reminds me of when people said Rush Limbaugh should provide “balance”. His response: “I am the balance!”

The left already has most the of print, broadcast, cable and internet media. How’s one more outlet that no one trusts going to help them?

America has a large scale liberal ‘Breitbart’, ABCNNBCBS and Faux News this last election.

Fishwrap wise, are there any conservative fishwraps in America.

Beat me to it. It’s exactly the comparison I was going to make. The difference is that Air America was just “on the dial” for people to find when they are bored while driving.

They’ll have to seek this out. Also, since it is in print, it can be ridiculed and linked.

"ShareBlue" will make up stuff, it will be pinged and repinged on DU, other FNW (NYT, the WaPo, the Huff Po Buzzfeed) will write stories about "many people are saying" and "widly held belief" and there will be yet another round of echo of FNW such as ABC, CB.S., NBC, DNCNN, PMSNBC, New York Slimes, Washington Compost, Time, Newsweek, and NPR/PBS at which time all the really smart people that do polling will THEN ask specifically crafted questions that fit the created narrative that has been fabricated and they will again proclaim idiot crap like...

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton a 98 percent chance of winning the general election on Tuesday.

Yeah, just because their installed base of democrat governors and state legislators is shrinking faster than funding for a democrat controlled pension fund is absolutely no reason to attempt to change tactics, right.

Then again, who am I to deny them their rope?

CNN is already there. MSNBC does a good job at that, too. ABCNBCCBS are already working on that. A brooks attempt would be terribly extra and would not get any more audience and readership than Air America got. It is good for the likes of Mr Brock to waste his money, or Soros’s money this way.

My exact thought.

My sister in Seattle had Air America on in the morning when I would go visit her. Such hatred, such anger and contempt, not to mention the outrageous lies. I was out of sorts for hours afterwards and got to where i would turn it off when she was in the shower and make her french toast so she wouldn’t notice.

Already exists. ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, AP, UPI, NYT, LAT, WP, and 90+% of every academic “journalism” department in the nation.
