I don't the the US has any mainstream left leaning channels. MSNBC and CNN might have some socially liberal takes, but they never provide airtime for left economic policy discussions. When it comes to those topics they are squarely pro corporate, privitization, financialization on industry sectors, etc. They give very little attention to workers rights topics, labor unions, crimes of big business, etc. Neither do the FOX News type channels. All of their funding comes from the same sources, mega corporations who also don't want airtime provided to left economic policy discussions. Corporate media has narrowed the area of acceptable discourse. And eight corporations own 90% of all media consumed in the US. There is a big filter of acceptable discourse that is intended to lead the public to the conclusion that those are the only topics worth discussing.
