Congratulations, Truthdig!!

Not only are these awards well-deserved, but Truthdig is the best online forum around, and an absolutely essential media source for today’s troubled world.

It takes a lot of work and courage to be Truthdig and I am so glad to see it recognized.

Adding my own congrats to all. Indeed, excellent work as LA Press Club got it right. Most especially to Chris Hedges, who continues to pack more in a paragraph than any journalist/philosopher out there.

Now, if only TD had CNN’s or MSNBC’s budget! To pay more, and then—more importantly—to reach more. We might then move forward.

Really congrats to Scheer and those columnists—who don’t much appear elsewhere—for the sacrifice.
