The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Driftglass and Blue Gal

'The Professional Left' features award-winning bloggers Driftglass and Blue Gal as they skewer right-wing absurdities and dismantle mainstream media mealy-mouths with razor-sharp wit and zero filter. From mercilessly mocking partisan hacks to elevating stories the media ignores, it's the profane, unflinching political commentary you didn't know you needed. More at http://ProLeftPod.com."

Ep 351 We Got Your Alt Left Right Here
The Obama Election in '08 was Apollo 11. This election is Apollo 13 - no moon landing, just get us home safe! Trump reaches out to "the Blacks," Clinton Foundation needs less f**ks, and the Alt Right speech has too much truth for MSM - too bad. Cable Media versus Ground Up Change.

Ep 350 Remembering Vs Gaslighting
Driftglass and Blue Gal celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. We remember, actually remember, Andrew Breitbart, while Bill Kristol pretends to.

Ep 345 What Donald Actually Says Matters
The Beltway Press creates false equivalence by ignoring what Trump is actually saying. And Driftglass takes a ride down memory lane to the all-too-familiar tropes of the 2004 Election.
