by Ron Unz, The Unz Review:

The stated purpose of our alternative media website is to provide convenient access to “interesting, important, and controversial perspectives largely excluded from the American mainstream media.” In fulfillment of this mission, we regularly cover highly-controversial topics only rarely presented in other publications, while also moderating the resulting discussions with a very light hand. As an inevitable consequence of these two related policies, we attract a very wide variety of readers and commenters, ranging from the extremely erudite to the totally deranged.
