WE DO NOT NEED A WINDFALL, BUT WE DESPERATELY NEED A BUDGET - RSN runs on a fraction of what it takes to run the major corporate newsrooms. We do on a shoe string what majors require hundreds of millions to achieve. We can do great things with a modest budget. But without it we cannot function. Need some assistance, ASAP. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
