A Pandemic on Top of a
Pivotal Presidential Election
Dear FAIR Friends,
With the Covid-19 pandemic on top of a pivotal presidential election campaign, the challenge of monitoring the corporate media has never been more critical.
It’s not an easy time to ask for donations, but YOU are the financial backbone of this small nonprofit. ([link removed]) YOU pay our writers, radio engineer, utilities, salaries and the landlord. Every donation counts, from $5 to $100—or more!
To avoid pestering our readers, FAIR keeps our fundraising to a bare minimum—this is our first appeal of the year.
Please donate now! ([link removed])
The FAIR staff has been working overtime, posting articles on the coronavirus crisis and broadcasting special episodes of our weekly radio show CounterSpin.
Highlights from stories we have been covering:
Corporate Looting as ‘Rescue Plan,’ Robber Barons as ‘Saviors’
For a perfect illustration of how corporate media function as ruling class propaganda, watch how they spin a titanic upward redistribution of wealth as a “rescue plan” for the US economy, and paint a robber baron like US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin as a “savior” of the American public.
Recent CounterSpin broadcasts (and MP3s available on our website):
Coronavirus False Choices & Pharmaceutical Price-Gouging
Corporate media are constitutionally committed to leaving unchallenged the notion that our choice is between sending folks back to workplaces and public spaces that might be unsafe, and letting them stay home and give up paychecks and health insurance.
To put out this work and stay independent, we don’t take any advertising or corporate dollars ([link removed]) . ([link removed]) But to keep operating without strings attached, we need your support ([link removed]) . ([link removed]) Each and every donation, any amount, is truly appreciated. Please give what you can.
And thank you—from Deborah, Janine & Jim
