There is almost no "left wing media" on any form of TV in this country, nor on any radio. The few hours a week that some classify as "left wing" is negligible. Much of that is on corporate owned outlets and as such is very open to being removed at a moments notice.

There are some pockets of lefty opinion on the internet, but hardly anything that could be described as a "current culture."
