This time around, I am honored to have John Dean as a guest contributor. Yes, that John Dean. Not only is he great at commentary, not only does he have the expertise and experience to inform us regularly on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, but he’s also a very generous, very nice guy, and a great Twitter follow at @JohnWDean.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 9 Days to raise $50,000
Truthout is one of only a few platforms for justice-oriented, grassroots journalism. Today, we face an existential threat.
Due to Google’s launch of AI search, we’ve seen a drastic plunge in our site traffic and, as a result, our revenue. We lost 15 percent of our readership overnight. This was a readership we painstakingly built over decades, and it vanished because Google chose corporate greed over a healthy democracy.
We are fundraising right now to meet our basic operating expenses. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference — we appreciate your support.
