I thought I had done my research very well, having studied the site for at least 3 hours. If it's left wing to report on the negative effects of fossil fuels, factory-farming, prescription drugs and a host of other issues like this, then the site is perhaps more left than right. Today I read an article criticising Al Gore for eating meat, Home Depot (a large corp.) doing it's bit for the environment and safety concerns over energy-efficient lightbulbs. All topics that you'd more likely find on a right-wing agenda. I also loved the site's stance on the "declaration of journalistic independence" which is a manefesto that clearly outlines all the ways that the site attempts to maintain impartiality. THe sad truth is though that when you attack anything the current government does, you're a leftie. If you attack Al Gore or possible side effects of energy-efficiency, you're on the right. In the end, the old adage is true...no good deed goes unpunished. It's something that I, as a writer who does this in his spare time for pennies, come across every day for simply trying to help people out. C'est la vie.
