Jack, the American news media is collapsing around us, but propaganda outfit Fox News has soared to new heights.

Fox News had its best year ever in 2019.
The first three months of 2020 were even bigger.
And now, Tucker Carlson's audience has grown so large that his show is the highest-rated news program in cable television history. He's even being talked about a presidential candidate in 2024.

Trump's reality show presidency is destroying America. Imagine the damage that a Fox News presidency could inflict on the country and world. Polls have shown that Fox News viewers are wildly out of step with mainstream Americans. Fox News viewers are more likely to believe conspiracy theories, less likely to be worried about the coronavirus crisis, and less likely to wear face masks to slow the spread of the virus.

America needs independent, progressive news outlets to stand up to the right-wing propaganda pushed by Fox News, and Daily Kos is the country's largest such outlet. That's why I'm asking you to support our work by starting a $5 monthly contribution today.
