Ukraine Hysteria, US Hypocrisy, Keystone Protest

US media go into overdrive over Russia/Ukraine. And a big anti-Keystone XL rally at the White House hardly makes the news.

This week: US media go into overdrive over Russia/Ukraine, painting the conflict as proof that Barack Obama isn’t feared enough. Plus pundits laugh at Putin’s delusion–but what about John Kerry’s? And a big anti-Keystone XL rally at the White House hardly makes the news.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
