John,

There’s no sugar-coating it – the right-wing media handed Donald Trump this election. From Fox News and Sinclair to X and Joe Rogan, an entire network of right-wing influencers fueled a relentless cycle of fear-mongering and misinformation.

In the end, their propaganda machine didn’t just amplify Trump’s message—it set the agenda. They manufactured outrage, spun up economic panic, and shifted the national conversation, steering millions toward Trump.

We’ve seen enough to know it’s time to build a progressive, pro-democracy media network that’s powerful enough to counter these forces, and we’re asking for your help.

Can you chip in $25 now to support COURIER’s local newsrooms and help us grow a progressive media strong enough to fight back? [[link removed]]
