I would simply ask them to cite the policy positions that show Mediamatters to be &quot;far left&quot;, as opposed to liberal or just left-of-center.  No one could cite those policy positions. I&#039;d like to ask a similar question here- who are these people, and which of their policy positions reveal them to be &quot;far left&quot;? Is opposition to &quot;preventative detentions&quot; a &quot;far left&quot; stance?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I used to ask a question of people I encountered (mostly) online who would call Mediamatters &#8220;far left&#8221;.
