THE DANGEROUS
PRECEDENT THAT IS READER SUPPORTED NEWS: We don't play the game, and we survive
in spite of it. No news agency tries to do what we do. Reject the advertisers,

survive hence we move the goalposts. No longer can the main-stream-media assume
that their way is the only way. Get serious about this, it's real. / Marc Ash,
