Because MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS aren't enough networks that are already left-wing...

Corporate media by definition cannot be left-wing.
Only MSNBC is clearly left-wing.  CNN is centrist, to me.  (I watch both CNN and Fox regularly, and sometimes ABC as well.)

If you want to talk about token opposition, don't forget that FOX currently employs Dennis freaking Kucinich.

Also, Fusion will be airing an hour-long block on The Young Turks starting in September.

The idea that pro TPP MSNBC is remotely left-wing is completely absurd. This is what left-wing media looks like.

How did they manage to get Kucinich to agree to that?

Fox has the definite right slant but they balance it out with real news anchors unlike Msnbc and their cast of left wing misfits. Some nights the whole panel is left wing hacks.  Matthews who I actually like for some odd reason is adamantly in the tank for the dems " tingles up my leg" remember that?

CNN = Communist network.

Morning Joe isn't bad(slightly better than fox) but this season its been every Trump hitman they can find to come on there and bash him ... heck Lindsay Graham used the air time during his whole campaign to attack trump.

Yeah Bernie they have an equivalent but its not professional enough to pull it off like fox.

Fox News pays well.

I have never even heard anyone suggest that Morning Joe is an anti-Trump show... in fact, many hardcore conservatives have been deriding Morning Joe for being completely in the bag for Trump. Lindsey Graham shows up on Morning Joe often because it's basically his job to be an establishment Republican mouthpiece in the Beltway media, which includes Morning Joe and the Sunday shows. Trump usually calls into a pretty friendly crowd at MJ - Joe, Mika, Nicolle Wallace, Donny Deutsch and others have spoken positively of Trump in one way or another since even before the new year.

Anytime you give someone like admitted commie Van Jones air time to spew his garbage you cant help but think.

I Guess I do need to update that. I will admit Ive gone slightly more to the right in recent years. Then again that might score may be spot on its just the dems have moved so far to the left since 2008.

Calling alternet news is like calling Daily Kos news. Though, seeing as FOX itself shouldn't qualify...

Reason the left doesn't have a "Fox News" is the same reason the left doesn't have a "Tea Party" - the cultural impulses that animate those corners of the right and are the underpinning of talk radio and rightist populism do not exist on the left. We still have crap like Jacobin and other out-there websites nobody visits, but what makes FNC successful does not translate to lefties.

I read that Ed Schultz is now apparently a pro-Trump, pro-Putin guy on RT.

Well that's because Ed Schultz, like most on screen reporters, is an actor not a journalist. He's been handed the Russia Today script.
