52. There are plenty of independent journalists whose work
is available free online. John Pilger eg, Dahr Jamail, Greg Palast and many others. Journalists like Dahr Jamail who actually went to the war front in Iraq and reported the facts rather than what the Times reported, most of which turned out to be lies.

Jamail talked to the people of Iraq and risked his own life many times to get actual news without government spin.

John Pilger is a prize-winning journalist and war correspondent whose reporting on Afghanistan, the real news, the facts about how the actual people there have been affected by US policies is gripping reading for anyone who cares about the truth and about the people victimized by these wars.

When was the last time any major US publican covered our wars from all aspects, including humanizing the civilians who live in those coutnries?

I would pay these jouralists as I know we are getting real news from them. I would not contribute to any news medium who lied to the public about some of the most important events in recent times.

There is plenty of real journalism available and I won't miss the MSM's contributions at all.
