Truthdig is a website which is critical of the US government - up to a point. It does not, for example, welcome discussion of the events of 9/11.
September 11, 2001
In 2006 Blair Golson, a contributing editor of Truthdig, quoted a piece from Time magazine which was critical of "conspiracy theories" and 5 years after the 9/11 attacks that “I have studiously avoided blogging about “The U.S. government planned 9/11” conspiracy theories because, frankly, they strain credulity*[1]; it seems unlikely to the extreme that the government could keep a secret like that from leaking.” [2]

Bush Wall Street Jeremy Corbyn Hillary Clinton 2016 London mayoral election Donald Trump Bernie Sanders 2016 EU Referendum | 19 April 2016 | Robert Reich | Bernie Sanders wants to tax stock trades at a rate of 0.5 percent (a trade of $1,000 would cost $5), and bond trades at 0.1 percent. The tax would reduce incentives for high-speed trading, insider deal-making, and short-term financial betting. Sanders’ 0.5 percent tax could thereby finance public investments that enlarge the economic pie rather than merely rearrange its slices – like tuition-free public education. |
