We Are The People Who are Not Greedy

It’s interesting how this progressive news site is not receiving adequate funding from the people who come here and read its articles. Supposedly, we are the people who are not the greedy, self-centered ones who care more for their own interests than supporting the collective well-being. There’s some disconnect here. Maybe time for some self-examination, eh?

18 September 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE DON’T NEED 20K READERS A DAY, WE NEED 30 DONORS - If 20,000 readers come to RSN on a given day and 30 donate we’re fine. But if 20,000 come and maybe 10 donate then the wheels come off, and they come off quickly. The core of the problem is the notion that someone else should or will do it. That has never worked and it won’t work now. It works when people step up and say, “I’ll do it, I’ll chip-in.” Step up. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

(photo: Lee County Sheriff's Office) Sean Hannity's Sheriff Friend Faces Mounting Ethics Allegations Jon Swaine, Guardian UK Swaine writes: "Sean Hannity told viewers of his primetime Fox News show that Marceno was a 'dear friend.' On Carmine Marceno's recommendation, Hannity was made an 'honorary deputy' of the county and given a gold star badge." EXCERPT: The sheriff is facing allegations that he did not properly qualify as a Florida police officer. One of his predecessors has warned that if confirmed, the finding could void every arrest Marceno made and vacate convictions he helped secure. The Guardian has identified unusual payments of $24,000 apparently made to another close friend of Marceno from a political committee with connections to his election campaign, and misreported to Florida authorities. And Marceno has been accused of inappropriate conduct towards a woman he dated after she reported a crime to his office. The woman alleges the sheriff abused his position and begged her to have an abortion after she became pregnant. READ MORE Greta Thunberg.
