Honest, paywall-free news is rare. Please support our boldly independent journalism with a donation of any size.
On this week’s edition: The Keystone XL pipeline is back in the news – and so is a lot of the same old misinformation. Plus we’ll look at how some TV journalists think about how war “works.” And NPR’s Scott Simon got a lot of credit for asking comedian Bill Cosby about rape allegations – but did he actually do that?
An urgent appeal for your support: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 10 days to hit our $50,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
