In These Times

Often, articles from In These Times will run on my favorite site,
, but I had neglected to look through ITT’s website until tonight. What I was missing out on!
In clicking on their «most read» selections, I’ve found articles on the current upheaval in the Arab world, the FBI’s harassment of peace activists, modern-​day corporate imperialism in Africa, the defunding of public broadcasting, and a piece on acts of «economic disobedience» committed by struggling Americans.
Cultural as well as political, and economic issues are covered in a hard-​hitting, investigative, progressively moral manner that shames major networks and periodicals. The people that write for In These Times care about ending inequality, pollution, war, and corporatism. Thus, they are the kind of reporters and commentators that reptiles like Rupert Murdoch and Richard Scaife fear. Don’t let these saints of truth be suffocated under heaps of lies and lurid celebrity anti-​news. Gift ITT monetarily. Link to it on your preferred social network sites. Subscribe to the print magazine and leave copies of it laying about the bus stations and waiting rooms of your city. Stay away from TMZ and make
your homepage.
When it comes to today’s popular media, In These Times is an oasis of potent information and opinion in a desert of ethical and intellectual poverty. Sustaining ITT keeps alive the hope that they along with Common Dreams and other such outlets of left-​leaning thought will someday climb out from the margins and overtake the mainstream.
