RSN: Garrison Keillor | Christmas Lives On





It's Live on the HomePage Now: 
Reader Supported News

THE GOOD THAT RSN DOES - We began in progressive publishing over a decade ago. In fact as George W. Bush assumed control of the White House. Since that time every news publication with a significant online presence has copied, in part or in whole our approach to publishing. RSN brings innovation, and leadership. We serve over a million readers per month, tens of thousands of which are low-income. We do it all on public funding without any assistance from powerful interests. That's important, because often those powerful interests are at the root of the problems that we so often report on. Were we accepting funding from those interests - directly or indirectly we would be constrained in our reporting. We force the hand of the corporate media. No longer can the corporate media function with an expectation that their version of events will have no rebuttal. We keep the pressure on the, for-sale-media-machine around the clock. They know we will be there, and our readers do to. We provide a vibrant forum for public debate. Our comments - get comments! People say it all the time, "read the comments." Indeed our commenters are among the most astute and substantive in online publishing. Our Godot section allows authors a powerful self-publishing tool to reach wide audiences with innovative perspectives. RSN is a veteran team of notion challengers. We have proven time and again: Courage in reporting does make a difference. Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News

Garrison Keillor, The Washington Post 
Keillor writes: "It is hard to believe that the Creator of our universe with its billions of galaxies could have sent Himself to this little blue blip not so long ago in the form of an infant born to a virgin, to be first worshiped by illiterate shepherds where He lay in a feed trough, livestock peering down at Him, Eastern potentates following a star to the site. But here we are again, singing those songs, so we shall see."

Aleppo's "Evacuation" Is a Crime Against Humanity 
Ben Taub, The New Yorker 
Taub writes: "Now is the time to stop talking about violations of human rights in Syria, and, instead, to describe atrocities in the proper terms: war crimes and crimes against humanity, as defined, unambiguously, in the Rome Statute, the founding document of the International Criminal Court."

"The Apprentice" Employees Feared Professional Reprisal Over Trump Leaks 
David Dayen, The Intercept 
Dayen writes: "Many expected footage of Donald Trump's hundreds of hours in 'The Apprentice' boardroom to yield something just as incendiary. But outtakes from the show were never leaked. One of the plausible reasons why this footage hasn't seen the light of day is that, simply put, many of the employees with access to the footage feared the end of their careers."

Can Trump Reverse Obama's Drilling Ban?
Avaneesh Pandey, International Business Times 
Pandey writes: "On Tuesday, President Barack Obama announced that he was earmarking huge swaths of U.S. waters in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans as 'indefinitely' off-limits to offshore oil and gas leasing and drilling. But can the Donald Trump-led administration reverse the ban?"
