POWERED BY RU News
a series of investigative interviews
It's been stated that the Internet hasn't produced much in the way of local news. They believe the Internet only follows the lead of the traditional media. They clearly need to check their facts. The Internet is filled with first-person accounts of things the traditional media couldn't have cared less about...yet the Internet attention forced the traditional media to act. Independent journalists [with the tools of computers and the Internet] have positioned themselves as the fact checkers of the mainstream media, the U.S. Government and the world as a whole.
Here we throw our hat in the ring, presenting local stories, which hopefully will resonate no matter where you live or who you are.
On Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday [January 15th, 2007] we launched this sektion in honor of community media for the undercovered issues of communities throughout the country.

"All He Wanted was a Hamburger" A Lawyer's Story #1 |
| On September 15, 2008, s6k:Investigates sat down with a person who deserves to be recognized for his dedication to the human rights movement. William Shanahan is a lawyer and human of the highest order. A person who puts his values to action, especially when the people elected, appointed and hired to govern us have faltered.
The story you are about to read is COMPLETELY TRUE [though incredible to believe] and heavily documented in court transcripts...and in Mr. Shanahan's mind as he was the lawyer who represented the person in this story. |

The Endless War Memorial 3.15.07 |
| We felt it was important to cover the Endless War Memorial event in Times Square, NYC, since it has gotten far too little coverage, outside of the alternative media. This was quite an odd fact since the "most popular and trusted" news sources in the U.S. are all within 3 blocks of this "D"emocratic action. |
