Bernie Sanders | President Trump Is Failing the People of Puerto Rico

18 April 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News I DO NOT WANT GOOD JOURNALISM TO DIE: I contribute $10 a month to Reader Supported News for a very simple reason: I don’t want good journalism to die. In After a 35-year career in the news business, I have a resume too loaded, and perhaps an age too high, to find a job, so I started a website and social media group called Displaced Journalists. I was overwhelmed at the talented people who follow it. This is serious. We are going to lose a pillar of our democracy if we don’t keep fighting to keep the few great operations out there in business. I find Reader Supported News to be the best source of news and commentary. It’s the site I always visit first. I don’t have a job, but I can still find $10 a month to keep RSN going. If you read RSN, why can’t you? Susan Older/Displaced Journalists - RSN Reader-Supporter Sure, I'll make a donation!
