A challenge for DU donors:
Edited on Mon Aug-13-07 09:35 AM by Texas Explorer
Granted, you don't see the "I donated to the third quarter fund drive" tag next to my nick - yet. The reason is I'm laid off and basically broke right now but I hope to make a donation before the end of the drive anyway as I have previously done.

Having now prefaced with my situation, I would like to issue a challenge to those of you who have or who will donate to DU during this fund drive. Please refer to this post by Dr. Phool:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1575018

First, I'd like to thank Dr. Phool for bringing this exciting project to our attention. http://www.therealnews.com">TheRealNews.com is probably the most exciting promise I've seen in a long time. Think about it, a news network that actually reports the "news"! I won't go on and on about it, and as excited as I am I could!

Anyways, here's the challenge: I challenge all who donate to DU to also donate an equal amount to The Real News. The Real News promises un-biased, "real", relevant news that we don't get from Murdoch & Co. You can learn more by clicking on the link above or in Dr. Phool's post. If you become as excited by the prospect of a news network that is truly impartial and relevant, as is advertised on their website, then accept my challenge and donate.

Thank you for taking a moment to consider my challenge!

From their website:

Our Mission

The Real News is a non-profit news and documentary network focused on providing independent and uncompromising journalism. Our staff, in collaboration with courageous journalists around the globe, will investigate, report and debate stories on the critical issues of our times.

We are member supported and do not accept advertising, government or corporate funding.

segment. Pretty interesting.

Edited: Gore Vidal mocking Bush: "'If we don't fight 'em over there we gotta fight 'em over here!' Well, well this little fool - how're they going to get here, Greyhound bus? I mean, he is so stupid himself, he thinks everyone else is equally stupid."
