'''Chase Augustus Whiteside''' (born March 4, 1988) is a documentary filmmaker, journalist, and co-founder of New Left Media. Whiteside is perhaps best known for his films documenting the participants at Tea Party events. Those documentaries, which IndieWire called "a perfect example of where documentary form and style is headed,"<ref name="iwrenninger">{{cite web|last=Renninger|first=Bryce J.|title=FUTURES {{!}} New Left Media's Chase Whiteside & Erick Stoll|url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/futures_new_left_medias_subversive_filmmakers_chase_whiteside_erick_stoll|work=IndieWire|accessdate=29 November 2010|date=25 June 2010}}</ref> have received more than 7 million views on YouTube.

Whiteside has been notably critical of cable news, telling ''The Washington Post'''s David Weigel, "CNN, like Fox News and MSNBC, should be largely dismissed as serious sources of news... as these outlets are all in the market of selling journalism through personalities, talking haircuts who report as much on what each other are saying as they do on reality."<ref name="WPweigel">{{cite news|last=Weigel|first=David|title=Who's behind those embarrassing interviews with tea partyers?|url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-now/2010/04/whos_behind_those_embarassing.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121007101446/http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-now/2010/04/whos_behind_those_embarassing.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 7, 2012|accessdate=29 November 2010|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=22 April 2010|authorlink=David Weigel}}</ref>
