The Real News Network

Apart from the fact that I'm a monthly donor to the Real News Network, I have no vested interest in suggesting many Volconvo members may find it interesting. Please visit the link below:

The Real News

My sincere hope is that this--and other like it--will become the news service of the (near) future. Corporate news is an oxymoron.
