As an independent news aggregator, ScheerPost faces the challenge of covering every important story, especially with a lean team and strict copyright laws limiting which sources we can republish.
That’s why ScheerPost is launching Bob’s List, where publisher Robert Scheer and the SP editorial staff handpick underreported but critical news clips daily, curating a selection we believe deserves wider attention. You can find these stories on this page, updated regularly by our editorial team.
To access it, simply click the Bob’s List image on the right-hand side of the homepage (just below the search bar).
