I know almost every site you go to is asking for donations - and that's understandable because when you don't have a staff, or advertising, there really is no substantial money in this business.

But I for one do it because the mainstream media is so disgusting these days as a propaganda operation that they have totally destroyed the essence of what journalism once was (and I have been one for a long time).

I have always believed that the audience deserves honesty, facts and reports that are as close to the truth as possible...or that help you conect the dots over time, because there is always more to the story.
