I personally have emailed to Goodman and DN! staff to report on 911-related events (and other highly significant 'national security state' issues). Every one of those emails has been met with silence and non-action. This, as pointed out is a HUGE flaw in their coverage. There are obviously certain lines which they do not cross and areas of investigative reporting in which they don't venture. This is rightly condemned as are the sources of some of their funding [the remainder of their funding comes from viewer contributions]. That said, their coverage on other progressive issues is almost without equal and I don't suggest ignoring them totally - only being aware of their limitations and constrictions on some issues. This is true not only for DN!, but for much of the other 'progressive' and alternative media. Take what is good; reject and condemn that which is bad or missing. Work to forge an alternative that will cover the issues they will not. A certain kind of 'purism' will only throw throw out the good with the bad. This is how the 'Left' usually eats its own and allows the 'Right' to grow unchecked.
