I believe Reader Supported News provides us the best daily summaries of national and international news available in this era – “best” defined as most perceptively chosen and therefore most generally useful to us in our quests to understand what obtains in the world around us.
I think RSN best too in how it preserves the trustworthiness of a Left-leaning but ideologically independent editorial content, giving it an increasingly rare (and therefore increasingly priceless) journalistic credibility. That's why it's so damn vital RSN be preserved, sustained, nurtured as a rising flame against the gathering darkness.
