Friend,

Since November, billionaire Michael Bloomberg has spent more than $360
million on campaign ads.

That money went directly into the pockets of the corporate media, and
now, those same corporate media outlets are treating Bloomberg as a top
contender.

That's not journalism. That's bribery.

Let's face it, American democracy is in crisis, and the corporate media
is a huge part of the problem.

CNN and NBC are motivated by profit, just like Dow Chemical or General
Motors, and they'll never bite the hand that feeds them.

Remember 2016? Donald Trump generated windfall ratings and TV ads, and
the corporate media rewarded him with wall-to-wall saturation coverage
of every Trump campaign rally and tweet. As the head of CBS infamously
said, Donald Trump's campaign "may not be good for America, but it is
damn good for CBS."

At Common Dreams, we've never accepted a dime of corporate advertising,
and we never will.

We're the nonprofit media for the 99%, and we refuse to let our coverage
be influenced by wealthy corporations or billionaire politicians
stuffing money in our pockets. We rely only on you, our readers, for
financial support. And as a result, we're accountable only to you.

But without your support, we'll have no choice but to cut back or close
down. We've set a Winter Fundraising campaign goal of $70,000 by the end
of this month. Will you make a donation to help support nonprofit
independent journalism?
