RSN IS A "LOUSY BUSINESS MODEL" We hear it all the time: RSN is a "Lousy Business Model." It's true and what's more, we are proud of it! What we do is not "a business model," it is a community service model, and an organizing model. That's the key: We need money, but we're not in it for the money. We did not start this as a business, we started this because we are angry about what is happening to our country, and other countries as well, and we want to do something about it. By pestering our Readers to be Supporters we are really trying to motivate them to take an ownership stake, not only in the organization, but in the mission. Does that make sense? Again our thanks. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
