Progressive Media Resources Group

When you say "We're looking for both "alternative progressive news SOURCES", and useful media gathering TOOLS, such as news feeds, little known cable and broadcast television and radio stations, podcasts, social media, etc." it seems to me the focus is on actual reportage, and not folks who just talk about what other have reported. I think that is a wise choice, although it is probably a fuzzy line.

For example, Huffpo does very little real reporting, and I'm not even sure I would call them progressive anymore. Maybe Dailykos is a better example. Clearly progressive, but mostly just commentary. They do, however commission polls, which is a form of original reporting.

Where would somebody like Thom Hartmann fit? Mostly his stuff is commentary, but he does have a very good talent for connecting information from all over the map.
