Friend,

Tucker Carlson is a vicious racist and xenophobic demagogue. In the
realm of evening cable news, he's among the loudest purveyors of
Trump's "Big Lie" propaganda. He's compared COVID-19 vaccine
mandates to "Nazi experiments."

Always feigning circumspection and high-minded innocence, he's a
sinister drummer in the march toward fascism, backed by billionaires and
corporate paymasters.

But Tucker Carlson has the top rated cable news show on television, and
as long as he's making money for those who underwrite his nightly
performance, he'll stay on the air.

This is the logic of the corporate news industry: Journalistic ethics
don't matter. Facts don't matter. The damage done to democracy
doesn't matter. What matters is ratings and profits. And most
important overall: the corporate-friendly spin to the masses is the real
prize.

This is why independent, nonprofit journalism is so essential to the
survival of democracy-and why it's seen as such a threat to the
powerful.

As news outlets that challenge the corporate establishment go under,
fascist forces are on the rise.

Quality journalism in the public interest and dedicated to the common
good is both the antithesis and the antidote to a media system built on
division, misinformation, and hatred.

If you believe in the power of independent journalism to hold power to
account and its importance in helping to build a better world, please
support Common Dreams today.

In these challenging times, we need you more than ever.
