Friend,
Most Americans support the Green New Deal, but the pundits on CNN and MSNBC all say it'll never happen.
Even larger majorities support Medicare for All, but corporate media say that's impossible, too.
Reducing income inequality. Ending the student debt crisis. Fixing the climate emergency.
All of these ideas are popular with voters, but every day the corporate media tells us that they're too expensive, we can't afford them, so just forget it and move on.
We call B.S.
This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. The problem isn't that we can't afford to tackle the big problems. It's that the 1% don't want to pay their fair share—and the same corporate interests lobbying against these common sense proposals in Washington, D.C., are calling the shots at the major news outlets that define the range of what's “possible” in our political debates.
That's why we started Common Dreams in 1997—to create a news outlet that would represent the interests of the 99%.
We reject the corporate media's narrative. We believe we CAN make a better world. And every day, we're here reporting the news to help make it possible.
Are you with us? Then help make a better world possible by making donation to reach our Winter Campaign goal of $70,000.
