Hi John,

 

The mainstream media has historically tried to balance left and right in its political coverage, and present what it views as a reasonable center. 

 

That may sound good in theory. But the old politics no longer exists and the former labels “left” versus “right” are outdated. Today it’s democracy versus authoritarianism, voting rights versus white supremacy.

 

There’s no reasonable center between these positions, no justifiable compromise.

 

Our latest video breaks down how the mainstream media drawing a false equivalency between the right and the left is misleading and dangerous.

 

Let’s be clear: Battling white supremacy is not the same as advocating it. Passing laws to prevent voter suppression is not the same as passing laws to suppress votes. Fighting for our democracy is not the same as seeking to destroy it. 

 

The media equating both sides, one “left” and one “right,” suggests there’s a moderate middle between hate and inclusion, between democracy and proto-fascism. 

 

This is misleading, dangerous, and morally wrong. Don’t fall for it. 

 

Thanks for watching,

Robert Reich
