Hey John — we know
it’s the weekend, so we’ll cut right to it.
We’re just over $2,500 away from our fundraising goal, with less than 12
hours to get there. That means:

[ [link removed] ]If 250 of our dedicated supporters chip in $10, we’ll smash through our
critical goal and close our budget gap. There’s a lot of money and power
behind bad information (we’ll get to that in a second), but our work is
powered by grassroots supporters like you,
John. If you can, please chip in
$10 now:

John,
right-wing bad actors like Tucker
Carlson, Fox News — even Joe Rogan — aren’t putting the best interests of
their viewers and our democracy first. For them, it’s all about profit.
Just take a look at the numbers:

Carlson’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, which has championed Trump’s Big
Lie and spews divisive, hateful rhetoric is estimated to generate over $1
billion in ads revenue for Fox News.^1

And Joe Rogan, whose podcast has been a deep source of COVID
misinformation reaching millions of listeners, is estimated to earn
$100,000 per episode.^2

John, the
numbers make it clear: for these bad actors, it’s in their best interest
to spread sensational and controversial news — even at the expense of the
truth.

That means it’s up to local newsrooms like us to set the record straight.
At Courier Newsroom, we never put profit before the truth. Our local
newsrooms are fighting the misinformation these bad actors create in real
time, but to go up against these media giants, we need your support to
keep doing it.

[ [link removed] ]Closing our $2,500 fundraising gap is critical to keeping the lights on
in our newsrooms, hiring more talented and dedicated reports, and powering
our work. So we’re asking one last time: will you chip in $10 now?

Thanks so much,

Everyone at Courier Newsroom
