I just watched the video of Boots Riley in Politics, and now I'm wondering if there are any other instances of radical leftists on bourgeois television programs. I managed to find two women on Fox News talking about the Terry Schiavo case, and some guy from the CPUSA on Glenn Beck (even though he didn't to radical), but that's it. Thanks

In Britain we get the odd lefty on TV in Britain, like Phil Jupitas, Steve Coogan etc. I'm not sure how far left these guys are though mind you.

The BBC has a show called HardTALK which has had Chomsky, Zizek, David Harvey, Alain Badiou and Chavez on in the best few months, but it's [b]very[/i] hostile to their views.
Here's a recent Zizek clip from the BBC:

They were just suggestions for casual left presences in British media lol. Those suggestions are good, but rare. There is little room for leftists in the right-wing media, it is not in the interests of mainstream broadcasters to broadcast ideas that could potentially shatter the foundations of society!

Jed Brandt from Kasama Project had a pretty decent segment on Glenn Beck. You can look it up on YouTube by either typing in his name or looking up "the bald communist," which is what Beck referred to him as. Also, Sunsara Taylor from the Revolutionary Communist Party has had a few appearances on Bill O'Reilly. You can look her up as well.
