Defiant Media Organizations

With the quelling of major networks in the United States, their news coverage of politics has been tamed.  This does not mean there is no coverage as as independent voices and independent media are racing to fill the void.  Because they are smaller  the coverage is not minute by minute and instead can be once a day - or occurring when an emerging story needs coverage.  Leaders include:
