Friend,
Yesterday, Donald Trump used his nightly news briefing to suggest that
people might somehow be cured of coronavirus by injecting bleach or
other disinfectants into their bodies or by exposing themselves to
ultraviolet radiation.
Doctors, public health officials, and even the Lysol corporation were
forced to rush out statements urging people not to listen to the
president.
But Donald Trump alone is not responsible for the spread of this
incredibly dangerous misinformation. The corporate media shares the
blame for running his news briefings live, night after night, for no
reason other than to get ratings and make money.
The news briefings are 100% political, and night after night, Trump
spews mountains of misinformation that must be corrected after the fact.
There has never been a more flagrant example of corporate media
corruption—and this is why the nonprofit, independent journalism of
Common Dreams is so vital. We cover the issues that matter most to
everyday Americans, not the issues that are going to get the highest
ratings or command the biggest advertising rates.
Our goal isn't to generate profits, but rather to inform, inspire, and
ignite change to create a better world. To remain true to that mission,
we're counting on members and readers—our only source of funding—to
provide us with the resources we need to bring you the news and
perspectives that matter during these difficult times.
Will you make a donation to help meet our crucial Spring Campaign goal
of $60,000?
