Thanks for setting up the Progressive Media Resources Group

The "big tent" of the DU has become rather noisy lately. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that noise tends to make it difficult to maintain a good perspective on where we are with the global struggle for progress. I think it is an excellent idea to offer a place where the American propaganda machines (from the entire spectrum of power-holders) do not dominate, and we can hear a more balanced view of what is really going on in the world, and how America is being perceived.
