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.

Keep up the great work with Real News Network. I'll try to help spread word about RNN as you guys try to get everything launched.

Thanks for being my friend Wayne, altho I am not actually looking for any. Have too much to do each day to spend much time here. But I appreciate what your creating here. Hey check out the new politicians aggregator for the upcoming Ontario election.

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!

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 ?

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.
