 Nominate Our Next Truthdigger of the WeekPosted on Feb 20, 2012
Who made your week by speaking truth to power, blowing the whistle or standing up to injustice? Truthdigger of the Week is a feature in which we recognize a person or group that made a difference. See past winners here. Nominate this week’s winner here. Last week, we recognized U.S. Army Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis for refusing to hew to the military party line about the supposed success of America’s military strategy in Afghanistan. Advertisement New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section. In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts. Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with. Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page. |

I would like to add “The Alyona”, Alyona Minkovski of RT reports on most of the stories the corporate media sweep under the rug.

She has a bit of a Libertarian slant, but on Civil Liberties and Anti-War issues, she is to the far left of 90% of the Democratic party and the “fake-liberals” on MSNBC.

What about “The Real News Network” http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php
Report thisAlong with Truthdig, Antiwar.com, Reason, etc. the coverage is off the mainstream grid. Instead of telling you what’s going on, they ask difficult questions that need to be answered. They all deserve recognition. I nominate TRNN.

I nominate those suing UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi Over November Pepper-Spray. This is important, we must demand our right to protest and safety while doing so.

I go with Gerard’s pick.
Although I do have a few minor disagreements with the author of the aforementioned article, I thought it was really good.
Things seem so touchy right now.
I am scared to make the first comment.
Kudos to you Rebecca Solnit!!!

Rebecca Solnit for her brave and clear defense of Occupy facing some of our accumulated social problems for us and taking a beating for it. See her current piece at TomDispatch on Occupy in general and Oakland in particular to put some fairness into the Occupy picture when it is needed.

Glenn Greenwald for his hard hitting expose on Frank VanderSloot. A stunning piece of courageous journalism.
