Corporations were never going to save us from Fox News. Selling lies is an immensely profitable business, and Dominion just wanted a cut.Friend,

On Tuesday, Fox News, the 24-hour sewer of lies, settled a lawsuit filed
by Dominion Voting Systems for over $787,000,000.

Sound like a lot of money? It’s not. Fox Corporation is valued at over
$17 billion. News Corp., also owned by billionaire oligarch Rupert
Murdoch, is valued at another $10 billion.

For Fox News, this is nothing more than a business expense and a tax
write-off. They don’t have to apologize. They won’t have to testify
under oath. They don’t have to stop pushing Trump’s Big Lie. Onward
they go.

The lesson from all this? A corporate lawsuit was never going to save us
from Fox News.

None of this comes as a surprise to us at Common Dreams. For the
corporate media—and not just Fox—it’s all about money and
political control.

The only way to provide readers with news you can truly trust is through
nonprofit, people-funded media that is 100% independent from corporate
influence. But without support from readers, the independent journalism
of Common Dreams simply cannot survive.

So here’s the bottom line: we need to raise $80,000 by May 1 in order
to stay alive and keep publishing in the weeks and months to come.
That’s why we’re asking you to chip in whatever you can to help keep
the light of truth burning in these dark times.
