This is what corporate media bias looks like. And it's a big reason
why democracy is so broken.

Friend,

For months, the corporate media has been hyperventilating about the size
of the Build Back Better plan.

Isn't that too much? How will it be paid for? What if the ultra rich
don't like paying taxes?

But last week-as the social investment package was being murdered by
corporate interests on Capitol Hill-the Senate passed a $778 billion
Pentagon budget. That's $7.8 trillion over the next ten years for more
war and weapons, at a cost four times larger than Build Back Better.

And what did we hear from the corporate media? Crickets. Or,
worse-applause for a bipartisan consensus that bowed to the military
industrial complex.

Common Dreams, however, covered this issue with the seriousness it
deserved-pointing out the glaring contradictions and lifting up the
voices of those crying foul over the nation's misplaced priorities.

The incentives of the corporate media are perverse, so it is left to
independent journalism-funded by the people who rely on it-to report
the news in the context of the common good, as we all strive for a
better world.
