Not surprising since the corporate media's biased against us.

Half a million anti-war protesters hold a monster rally on the Washington Mall, and the media snoozes. We hold an event in 135 cities simultaneously, and the bobbleheads call it a failure.

Six teabaggers show up to say "Keep the government out of our Medicare" and the media's fawning over them and giving them a full news cycle.

We have to have our own media.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
