WHO'S YOUR
DADDY? A while back I wrote a fundraising message with the title, "Who's Your
Daddy?" I took a lot of flack for the title because a lot of people did not
understand the question. The line is borrowed from the 1968 song by the Zombies,
Time of the Season. But the question is borrowed, too. In this case the question
means who pays your bills? David and Charles Koch are "news daddies". They pay a
lot of bills to see to it that the message is ah, fair. Our Daddy and Mommy are
you. We know that. The question is one you should also consider asking of any
information source: Who's Your Daddy? Pay attention to the answer and you'll
learn a lot. We are asking for your support, it's vitally important. Thanks to
all in advance. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

As Keystone

Peter Moskowitz, Al Jazeera America
Moskowitz writes: "The federal government has quietly approved major tar sands transportation projects with unstudied environmental effects -managing to circumvent the executive branch’s impact analysis that paralyzed development of the Keystone XL pipeline and bolstered activists’ claims that the project is dangerous and damaging to the environment."
