[Sosfbay-discuss] Where Are the Independent Progressive Web Sites?

[JamBoi]

Some of my favs in order of preference:

Check this one out in particular - mostly Green Party, out of SF,
recieved National Black Newspaper of the year:
http://www.sfbayview.com/

http://AfterDowningStreet.org
http://WhatReallyHappened.com
http://Buzzflash.com  
http://Antiwar.com
http://Truthout.org

Sadly because of their anti-Green Party stance, overfocus socialism per
se and over reliance on MSM priorities I have to unrecommend
ProgressiveIndependent.com

Green solidarity!
