Corrente Boldly shrill ... http://www.correntewire.com/node/13151/atom/feed 2008-09-04T09:58:22-04:00 That is why http://www.correntewire.com/that_is_why 2008-09-04T09:42:15-04:00 2008-09-04T09:58:22-04:00 vastleft A few days back, a Corrente Senior Fellow popped in to suggest that many of the posts here in recent months haven't been, as advertised, "objective media critique or part of a campaign to defeat sexism," rather they're "a symptom of tribal warfare within the internet-enabled progressive social network that is being fueled by the Corporate Media and exploited by the Republicans."
