Dear Friend,

CNN has always been a prime example of the pernicious corporate media
bias that infects our democracy. But at Tuesday night's Democratic Party
debate, CNN's moderators were truly beyond the pale. They ignored
substantive policy questions to push petty personal controversies
between the candidates. Every issue was framed from a right-wing point
of view. They were so biased against progressives that the audience
couldn't help but laugh. This debate was like a 3-hour advertisement for
why the independent, nonprofit journalism of Common Dreams is so needed
in today's media landscape. But the only way we can keep providing that
counterbalance to the CNNs of the world is with your help. Will you make
a donation to support the nonprofit, independent journalism of Common
Dreams?

Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi described the moderators'
performance as "unusually vile." They flat-out asserted that it's wrong
to oppose Trump's climate-killing trade deal with Canada and Mexico.
They claimed that Medicare for All would bankrupt the country and
referred to it as "political suicide." Their right-wing framing on
foreign policy was as bad or worse. They ignored entirely the costs of
our never-ending wars and compared Bernie Sanders to Iranian Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It got so bad that "#CNNisFox" was
trending on Twitter. The only antidote to CNN's corporate media bias is
the independent, nonprofit journalism of Common Dreams. Will you donate
to help support our newsroom throughout this all-important presidential
election cycle? Yes, I'll make a donation to support the nonprofit,
independent journalism of Common Dreams.
