Which left media do you have in mind here and is there some other place you had in mind? I think there is arguably more of the kind of analysis you are thinking of in the US than there is in any European or South American country for example. There is no mass movement or daily paper as an outlet but there are many more journals. There is nothing remotely like Challenge anywhere else for example or the work that Dean Baker does every week.
