Worthy Cause
One of the first quasi-blogs I ever read regularly was Cursor. Then when I started this site, Cursor was extremely generous is sending people this way.
Now Cursor needs to raise funds to keep going and ramp up its sister site, Media Transparency. Media Transparency does something no one else does: track the right wing's think tank-academia-media money machine in a systematic way. Here's an endorsement from Eric Alterman:
It deserve's recognition for public service and the widest possible audience...Media Transparency is the essential tool for tracking this movement.
And for an example of Media Transparency's work, see this piece on AEI and its push for war with Iran.
So check them out, and if you can afford it, send them some bucks.
