What is TBRnews?

TBRnews is a compendium of political articles, many gathered from prestigious foreign sources as well as from American news web postings.

The name, TBRnews, originally came from the Barnes Review magazine and the site began as a listing of historical books.

Under different management, it eventually progressed to a twice-weekly posting covering national and international news.

We have been accused of being neo-Nazis, Communists, anti-Semites, Christian haters, certainly not Bush friendly and guilty of treason, aggravated mopery, theft of mattress tags from cheap motels, chronic jaywalking and disturbers of the political peace.

 I run this site all by myself with a little help from various friends, both inside and outside of the Beltway.

The articles not otherwise credited are usually written by myself although I do not take credit for them. The articles speak for themselves and I do not believe in beating my own drum as so many other journalists seem to enjoy doing. The message is always important; not so the messenger.

            I try to answer reasonable mail and encourage the reading public to submit articles of interest. I am known to publish pieces that I do not personally agree with but which I feel are well-written and worth reading.

Contrary to the hysterical views of rabid trailer park Bush supporters, I was not suckled by a werewolf and I am not a member of the far left. In point of fact, I am a very disillusioned moderate Republican whose family were bankers, brokers and CEOs of various nice companies.

There does not seem to be much moderation left after the Bush people finished polarizing the electorate.

            We also put out a wonderful electronic journal every Friday. It costs five dollars a month and one can easily subscribe, or unsubscribe, via PayPal at any time. (click here) The Journal contains more serious articles and at the present time, we have slightly over 900 subscribers. We do not take advertisements because we enjoy going after firms like WalMart with its wonderful community spirit and superior employment policies.

If we took advertising, we would be in the identical position of most major American media; right in the pocket of the advertisers. Large corporations advertise in papers. This is what makes a profit for the papers (and for television.) Large corporations, in this era, are active and cash-contributing Republicans.

The conclusions are obvious here.
