At 3:50pm on September 10th, 2007, Nudger said…: Am delighted to be invited to your list of 'news junkies', of course I accept.

Have written and posted about several of your themes above. Vidal is one of my mentors and have found a friend's collection of his 'real' interviews in a singular player at You Tube.

Here's the player, you can embed it anywhere you choose, too.

If people could find any poli's wishing to donate, to take part, that would be super. I find this forum a bit confusing as well, but I am not net savvy, just old. Ha-ha!

At 7:46am on August 10th, 2007, Vertigo said…: Oh, and one more thing. I think the forum is a bit confusing. You have the forum and these Groups.

Discussions going on in the politics junkies group is completely separate from the "politics" section in the discussion forum. This makes no sense to me ?

At 6:02am on August 10th, 2007, Vertigo said…: Is there any way this community site could be better integrated with TRN main site ? Now there is only a single "banner' linking from TRN to here. I think it would be better to, for instance, have ability to discuss right under each video on TRN main site and it would draw more people to participate I think. There is also a seperate sign up procedure for TRN and here, its as if they have nothing to do with each other.

At 9:08am on August 7th, 2007, Christian Nipedal said…: Thanks for the add! Exciting reading, I first learned about therealnews today actually, and I've been looking for quite some time. I must say that this will catch fire anytime. People are thirstier than ever for non-opinionated news. Have you seen Newswar, the documentary? C
