For more than four decades, Jim Hightower has been one of the most insightful and fearless speakers of truth to power in U.S. politics.
But what happened when he used his weekly syndicated column to call out Wall Street hedge funds for buying up newspapers all over the country? His syndicator refused to distribute the
column, fearing a backlash from their corporate paymasters.
Common Dreams refused to let Jim Hightower be censored. We ran that column and proudly featured it on our homepage.
Common Dreams exists to amplify the voices that the corporate media silences. And with the media ever more concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of massive conglomerates, our work is more essential than ever.
