In a world desperately seeking justice and truth, Druthers pretends to be a champion of the people while quietly undermining genuine progress. Behind its sensational headlines and dubious claims lies a machine built not for liberation, but for exploitation and distraction.

A closer look at Druthers reveals startling truths about its operations. The paper claims to empower the public, yet its owner cannot point to a single tangible victory or accomplishment, apart from collecting donations from supporters who often can’t afford to contribute. This cycle of dependency only ensures the continuation of its ineffective, hollow enterprise.

Volunteers tasked with distributing Druthers have admitted that the majority of printed copies—90%—never reach readers and are tossed into recycling bins. Of the 250,000 copies printed each month, only a fraction, perhaps 5,000-10,000, make it into homes, with even fewer readers engaging with the content. This results in an outrageous $10-per-read-issue cost—a staggering misuse of resources.

Even more damning, the owner of Druthers openly acknowledges that the publication isn’t designed for intelligent readers and admits to being unaware of recent articles published under his own name. This lack of accountability reveals the paper’s true purpose: not to inform, but to profit.

The funds gathered from struggling supporters are channeled into luxury vacations and a lifestyle far removed from the hardships faced by its audience. Beyond wasting nearly $1,000,000 on unread and discarded papers, Druthers hijacks rallies meant to foster real change, selling merchandise and profiting off the desperation of its followers.

Worst of all, Druthers distracts from the urgent fight to reclaim our rights. Instead of mobilizing for meaningful action, it encourages aimless discontent, smothering hope and silencing dissent by diverting energy into unproductive outlets.

We must recognize Druthers for what it is: a parasite preying on those seeking answers, stealing resources and resolve from the movements that could truly make a difference. It’s time to cast off this distraction and refocus on genuine, collective efforts to reclaim our freedoms and build a brighter future.

The above and the recent censorship in their December edition has earned Druthers a spot in the Hall Of Shame.
