John,

Right-wing media like Fox News, Breitbart, and Newsmax aren’t just playing
politics by spreading bad information, they’re destabilizing American
democracy.

Case in point is the relentless amplification of Trump’s Big Lie that led
to the January 6th riots at the capitol. Today, 69% of Republicans think
President Joe Biden’s win in 2020 was illegitimate, according to a recent
CNN poll.

spreading in 2024, please consider pitching in $5 or
anything you can to support our work.

After the January 6th commission, Donald Trump’s litany of criminal
charges, the nearly $800 million Fox News was forced to pay in a
settlement with Dominion, you’d think things might be different as the
2024 election gets closer.

Unfortunately, John, it’s only
getting worse.

Just this month, Fox host Pete Hegseth suggested Democrats could use
“tricks” like “COVID 2.0, 3.0” to rig the election. Newsmax carried a live
speech from Donald Trump claiming the same thing, and Daily Wire podcast
hosts Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles repeated the claims on their shows,
too.

There isn’t a shred of evidence to support these claims, yet the
right-wing media ecosystem keeps churning them out. All just to drive
ratings, pump up Donald Trump and push an anti-democratic agenda that is
way outside the mainstream of American politics.

Courier was created precisely to combat this kind of dangerous
misinformation. Our journalists are working for newsrooms in nine
battleground states with a mission to report the full story, including all
the context needed to understand what’s actually going on. And they’re not
afraid to use their voices to call out right wing misinformation whenever
they see it.

But to make our journalism available to the communities who need it most,
we rely on supporters like you to fund our work.

please consider pitching in $5 or any amount today to help
us fight back against misinformation and bring reliable, honest reporting
to communities that need it.
