FEED THE
GREEDY CORPORATION, STARVE THE TRUTH-TELLER: The vast majority of our readers
are far more likely to hand their money to the very Corporations whose abuses
they rely on us to monitor than they are to give us - any money at all - to
monitor them. It's not that you do not come to RSN, it’s that most of you do not
help out. As a result the abusive corporate entities thrive while smaller honest
organizations are left without means. Stop funding the problem and start funding
the solution! Now would be a good time. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported
