RSN: Marc Ash | Progressive Masquerading

19 July 19 We Have to Focus Intensely on Funding RSN The flow of donations is as slow as it have ever been. It does not seem to be harming Readership, which remains strong. Nonetheless lack of funding can and will bring the process to a grinding halt. You can be quite sure. No budget, no RSN. We are forced to act. With resolve and a significant degree of urgency.

19 July 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News NOT GOING TO LET RSN TANK OVER A FEW DONATIONS - We can finish this fundraiser in “one day.” Today for instance. Or it could be 20 days which would be absolutely ridiculous. Yes your donation matters @ RSN. That's the point. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
