DON'T FORGET! Click on every linked story that reports negatively on the Russian coup!

I've suspending the "20 Articles per day about the Russian Coup" effort for the time being, because I don't think anyone needs any help to find 20 articles a day on it.

But don't forget: when there is a thread with a link to a publication that is reporting truthfully (i.e. negatively) on the Russian coup (because, you know, Russian coups are a negative thing) CLICK THE LINK.

Give traffic and therefore ad revenue to all those who are reporting on it. Don't just read the DU excerpt.

Small efforts, but if these publications get big jumps in traffic from these stories, they will keep the stories going.

awful RW sites when they show up on other sites. And if so, do you have to let the link load for them to get charged?

If a few minutes of clicking a day can help our cause, we DU should pitch in and promote this. Not saying it's enough, but every little bit may help.

... this seems like a good place to mention this website. It's about advertisers, not news sites, but that's where the money is, so....

It puts the companies that are still advertising on fake-news websites all in one place so we know who to write to. It also shows companies who have stopped advertising on those websites so we know who to thank.

My threads always sink like an anvil. If you do it, more people will see it... And I do think it's a pretty cool and useful site, so I'd love it if you started a thread.

(Mine often sink like stones too, but I think this is worth a try.)
