Here&#8217;s a list of my favorite progressive heroes and independent media I trust and that I draw strength from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - The Jimmy Dore Show\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TYTComedy\" target=\"_blank\">Jimmy Dore<\/a> &#8211; The one and only. I met him in Philly. Listen to his stuff religiously.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - The Humanist Report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MikeAnthonyTV\" target=\"_blank\">The Humanist Report<\/a> &#8211; Hosted by Mike Figueredo. Good progressive and political commentary on the latest news.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Redacted Tonight\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/redactedtonight\" target=\"_blank\">Redacted Tonight<\/a> &#8211; Hosted by the amazing Lee Camp. Every Thursday they do a live taping of Redacted Tonight in DC. Lee Camp was also in Philly along with John F. O&#8217;Donnell. He&#8217;s the only quazi-celebrity to make it to my quotes page.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - The Young Turks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TheYoungTurks\" target=\"_blank\">The Young Turks<\/a> &#8211; Been a fan for a while now. I used to watch Cenk Uygur on MSNBC a while ago. His tone and political views got them to fire him (same fate for Ed Shultz). But I&#8217;d watch TYT for election results during the primaries since we were all on the same side (Bernie) and they give it to you straight.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Let The Madness Begin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC8aIq_l3wnoWDVu3sasgoew\" target=\"_blank\">Let The Madness Begin<\/a> &#8211; Two awesome dudes who do short progressive vlogs talking about the latest in politics.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - The Sane Progressive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCxpfmCp2Z9VPTO7eWV6ebzQ\" target=\"_blank\">Debbie, The Sane Progressive<\/a> &#8211; This woman is awesome. She rants and raves about Bernie and the progressive movement and what the democrats do, etc. I also met her in Philly and she gave me a hug.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Secular Talk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/SecularTalk\" target=\"_blank\">Secular Talk<\/a> &#8211; Just started to listening to this guy, Kyle Kulinski. Very knowledgeable dude.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Democracy Now!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/democracynow\" target=\"_blank\">Democracy Now!<\/a> &#8211; I actually don&#8217;t watch Amy Goodman as much as I should. They cover the most important topics on the show and have great guests.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Cabin Talk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCqRExLQDlfd5sjEiNAgc6qQ\" target=\"_blank\">Cabin Talk<\/a> &#8211; Claudia Stauber, who I saw in Philly but I met her a few weeks back at the Take Back Democracy DC rally, talks the latest in Bernie, progressive politics, etc.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Progressive News With Tim Black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TimsTakeLive\" target=\"_blank\">Progressive News<\/a> &#8211; Hosted by Tim Black. Awesome guy. I met him at the Take Back Democracy DC rally. He was also in Philly with Black Men For Bernie. I don&#8217;t watch him as much as I should.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"YouTube - Russell Brand\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/russellbrand\" target=\"_blank\">The Trews<\/a> &#8211; Russell Brand&#8217;s youtube show. It&#8217;s pretty good. I catch it from time to time. Always complaining about republicans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wow, I got quite a list of progressive heroes!<\/p>\n<p>I also listen to <a title=\"Best Of The Left\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestoftheleft.com\" target=\"_blank\">Best Of The Left<\/a> podcast from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>Another few dudes to add to the list are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregpalast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Greg Palast\">Greg Palast<\/a> &#8211; He does investigative journalism and documentaries especially in the areas of election fraud, where he&#8217;s an expert. I met him in Philly. He sat on one of our posters! Catch his latest documentary, <a title=\"The Best Democracy Money Can Buy\" href=\"http:\/\/thebestdemocracymoneycanbuy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Best Democracy Money Can Buy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidsirota\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter - David Sirota\">David Sirota<\/a> &#8211; I follow him on twitter. He&#8217;s a REAL journalist with the IBTimes.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jordanchariton\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter - Jordan Chariton\">Jordan Chariton<\/a> &#8211; He&#8217;s with TYT Politics.

Tells it like it is. He was on MSNBC for a while.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/snowden\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter - Edward Snowden\">Edward Snowden<\/a> &#8211; Of course!<\/li>\n<li>Julian Assange &#8211; Wikileaks. Keep fighting!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But don&#8217;t think I don&#8217;t get MSM as well. I still check Google News to get my fill of corporate owned MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, etc news. I read a lot of articles everyday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something that I had forgotten to blog about in my lessons learned from the election 2016 was all the progressive media that I now listen to instead of the hallow,corporate-owned, corrupt, in-bed-with-wallstreet MSNBC.
