A. J. Liebling warned us that “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one”. Happily, the Internet gives just about anyone in the developed world access to a worldwide audience. Now Robert Scheer, a veteran investigative reporter, has launched Truthdig.
The site presents in-depth reports, or “digs”, on matters of current interest. Its debut outing includes digs into religion and homosexuality, China, Syria, and the Jack Abramoff scandal. This will be one to watch.

It’s a shame he’s having Cooper write on Venezuela. The guy makes up so much nonsense and when he gets refuted he whines that those refuting his distortions are ‘trolls’ or ‘idiots’. Marc my word, before the year is out the guy will be writing screeds against Morales in Bolivia.
