Friend,
The top global advertising agencies just announced that they project that more than $700 billion will be spent on corporate media advertising worldwide in 2022.
Think about that. Seven. Hundred. Billion. Dollars. It’s
jaw-dropping.
That’s money coming directly from Big Oil, drug companies, Wall Street, Big Tech, the insurance industry, and other giant corporations, to literally pay the salaries of the journalists reporting the news every day.What are the chances that they
will tell their consuming audiences the terrible truth about how Big Oil is destroying the climate or how drug companies and big banks are ripping off ordinary people every day?
Zilch. Zip. Zero. It’ll never happen. Ads aren’t just about selling stuff—they are about buying influence and purchasing corporate-friendly narratives.
This is why the independent, nonprofit journalism of Common Dreams is so critical in these dangerous times. But we simply can’t do it without you.
