Friend,

Michael Bloomberg hasn't won a single vote in the Democratic primary
race.

He's taken positions that are massively unpopular with voters—including
wanting to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

So why are the corporate media treating him as a serious, major
contender for the Democratic nomination? Because the corporate media has
been bought.

Michael Bloomberg has poured more than $360 million into corporate media
advertising—almost 10 times more than Bernie Sanders and 15 times more
than Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, his record is full of the kind of
elite-friendly policy positions beloved by the 1%-ers who run the
corporate media.

Bloomberg says raising taxes on the wealthy is "class welfare" and
supports raising the retirement age to reduce the deficit created by the
Bush-Trump tax cuts for the rich.

That's anathema to Democratic voters and would be devastating to working
people—but it's music to the ears of the super-rich corporate executives
that run our major news media outlets.

At Common Dreams, we are a news outlet entirely insulated from the
influence of corporate advertisers and billionaire candidates because we
accept no advertising and have no corporate board demanding every higher
profits. We're nonprofit and rely only on small donations from our
readers.

Common Dreams is the nonprofit news source for the 99%. Will you make a
donation to help meet our Winter Fundraising Campaign goal of $70,000?
