Bloggers Start Using “Leftstream,” “Left Stream, ” Instead of Mainstream
A friend of mind chided me when I used the term “Mainstream” to describe the traditional media. He said, “Leftstream” was more descriptive.
I concluded he was correct and I started using the term “Left Stream.”
Today, I decided to see what other bloggers were using the term. I wrote the following article in last December, when I obviously had too much time. I always thought I'd update it, but have not found the time.
April 4th Google’s blog search engine lists Sola-Man using “left-stream” on “The Impudent Finger.” Again, on September 7th and on 12th was used by Solablog on that site.
Blogster’s “Pull on Superman’s Cloak” used left stream twice on April 21st.
For “leftstream,” I found the first mention on May 20th by “The Rules of Engagement” (loyaloppositionblog.com) by Jeremy D. Thompson.
