Dear Common Dreamer,

"98 percent of the US population will never see this article."

That's the comment one of our readers posted last week under our top headline.

The article? A news report on the latest insult by the Bush administration. Dick Cheney's lawyer now claims that Congress has no authority to investigate Cheney's conduct - not even his approval of torture tactics used at Guantanamo Bay.

That's right. A blank check for Cheney. Even if he lies. Even if he breaks the law.

One of our editors picked the headline out of hundreds. It's what our small but dedicated staff does every morning. We scan dozens of publications to bring you the day's best mix of news and views.

News and opinions you won't get from Big Media.

Of course, we can't do it without you. So four times a year, we ask for your help.

PWGD is about how we agree on news of importance to build together a new media distribution network, to be sure the 98 percent know some basic things we need to know.
