Failed Pols provides summaries of news stories from trusted sources on political topics. We have posts from multiple categories of media sources, including conservative, liberal, and uncategorized (which includes the publisher of this website, nonpartisan sources, nonprofit sources, and other sources that defy traditional categorization (such as late night TV shows, which are not, strictly speaking, news sources)).
We monitor these sources primarily on YouTube, since we believe that today’s voters primarily get their news from TV and from the Internet. We have two Google accounts, one for monitoring conservative sources, one for liberal and uncategorized.
Here are the current liberal and uncategorized sources:
