On September 1st, Crooks and Liars will celebrate our 16th year online. We are all very grateful and thankful for our readers' continued support of the work that we been doing every day since, -- roughly 5840 straight days.

We were the first weblog to create the usage of video news on blogs. Without any framework in place to do so we've published over 40,000 videos. I don't doubt we have one of the largest archives of videos documenting political events over the past 16 years of any independent news website.

As blogging and online communities have grown over time, online revenues have changed, too. Since 2012, it's been completely controlled by Google, Facebook, and political consultants and we are at the mercies of their newest algorithms that they change whenever they want. You are the only ones who keep us afloat and we want to thank you for your contribution.

It's $1 for the first month and $4.99 per month thereafter. Once you've subscribed, just click on the Ad-free login link at the top right side of the page to enjoy the site without all the ads.

If you've subscribed and want to help us out even more, you can click on the Kindest link at the bottom of this post and make a donation, too. We're grateful for all of you who have done that.

With your help, we can maintain quality we’re proud of and hopefully, build out many more features moving forward for you to enjoy. This is especially important during the upcoming General Election 2020, which is paramount to the health and safety of our entire nation.

Thanks again, and we appreciate your subscription!
