As we look ahead to 2022, the far right-wing media ecosystem has never posed a greater threat to our democracy.
Trump’s Big Lie. Anti-vaccine disinformation. Climate denial. Open instigation of political violence. These conspiracy theories pump out from Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN and fly across social media, each seemingly more unhinged than the last.
Here at Inequality Media, we’ve spent the last year scientifically testing the most effective messages for inoculating people against these lies and persuading the constituencies being targeted by the right-wing media.
It’s working, and today we’re one of the few progressive organizations able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, and Fox News on social media in terms of audience size and engagement.
But we can’t do any of this without donations from essential supporters like you, and the more we raise, the more content we can produce and blast out.
That’s why, with so much at stake in 2022, we’ve set a goal of raising $100,000 by January 1. And the best news of all is that all year-end donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Can you give today and double your impact? [[link removed]]
ALL DONATIONS MATCHED [[link removed]]The problem of corporate media bias extends well beyond Fox News and other blatantly partisan outlets.
Mainstream newsrooms like the New York Times and CNN miss stories and have their own biases that can leave their audience under-informed, cynical, and disempowered—just the way Washington lobbyists and wealthy corporate interests like it.
Don’t get me wrong: The right-wing news outlets are more unhinged than ever, and their white supremacist lies make my blood boil. But in a way, the bias at mainstream outlets like CNN is even worse, because people *expect* these newsrooms to be fair.
Well . . . they’re not.
They favor the status quo. They leave critical policy choices unreported. And they indulge in constant “both sides” false equivalences, equating members of Congress who incited a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government with those trying to protect voting rights.
If we can’t get facts and context about the progressive agenda to the American people, unfiltered by the corporate media, we’re missing the opportunity to win a messaging battle we can't afford to lose.
Please donate to help Inequality Media battle back against corporate media bias and provide Americans with the facts they need in 2022. All donations will be matched 100%. [[link removed]]
