Friend,

Comcast and AT&T—the corporate owners of CNN and NBC—are huge opponents
of net neutrality.

Is it any wonder, then, that there were exactly ZERO questions asked
about net neutrality during the four Democratic presidential debates
hosted by CNN and NBC?

That's right. Out of nearly 500 questions asked, not a single one was
about net neutrality—the bedrock of a free and open internet.

In fact, the corporate news media has almost totally ignored net
neutrality for years. In the weeks after Ajit Pai announced plans to
repeal net neutrality, the three broadcast news stations devoted a total
of TWO MINUTES to the issue.

This is just one example of how corporate consolidation of media
distorts which issues the public hears about and what is strategically
ignored. But as an independent, nonprofit news outlet, Common Dreams is
free of influence from corporate overlords.

As a result, we're able to give issues like net neutrality the deep and
sustained coverage they deserve. But we can only continue this work
because of your support. We count on you to provide the resources we
need to cover the costs of journalists' salaries, office expenses,
web-hosting, and everything else that goes into running a cutting-edge
journalistic enterprise.

Will you make a donation to help reach our Summer Campaign goal of
raising $50,000 and support nonprofit, independent journalism?
