    Such a shame that therealnewsnetwork suffered a liberal coup over their newsroom. I'm glad that Paul Jay is back out here trying to help keep us educated

      TheAnalysis is such a life-saver. TRNN was my go-to news source for a decade+. I was completely lost for that half year span after Marc Steiner took over but before Jay, Sharmini Peries, and Greg Wilpert started TheAnalysis. I have no idea why, among online hard leftists here and elsewhere, The Real News (before it liberalized) and TheAnalysis have never garnered the attention that the more succdem/proglib outlets get. Yeah, it's dry, but if you can watch an ex-Bernie staffer spend 2 hours talking about electoral libshit, you can watch a 5-part series of Gerald Horne discussing slavery or Bill Black laughing about Wall Street.

      I only occasionally check up on TRNN. I think they still have Taya Graham doing the Police Accountability report, which is awesome. Eddie Conway's stuff is good, but he's basically a part-timer. I liked Dharna Noor's climate stuff (I think that's her name), and I think she's still there.

      My only complaint with TheAnalysis is that Sharmini is completely behind the scenes. I miss her cheery demeanor while reporting on banking fraud and military coups.
