How many more than Fox can you name? How many more than WSJ can you name that are not Left-leaning?

For print media sources, just start with Neil's own cited sources such as "the old gray lady" (the NY Times) and New Yorker Magazine. Virtually all other newspapers regurgitate the NY Times routinely as a feeder source.

The media list is much more heavily populated on the Left side of the column than it is on the Right side.

C'mon, be a sport. What have you got against dumbed-down cartoonish videos? What better way is there to reach and recruit 'useful idiots' to an ideology?

If you have thoughts on the content of the videos, or on sustainability, or conservation, etc. then great! But, if you are going to only guess at the content of the videos, based on your own impressions of "the media", then you are making a very tired point...
