One of the biggest problems we face is, of course, the corruption of the media. Bad media makes everything worse. The forces we’re up against are trying to destroy the truth itself. Blur the lines enough between what’s fake and what’s real, what did or didn’t happen, who’s a traitor and who’s a patriot, and democracy becomes an afterthought. It takes politics to a place where all that matters is the next thing that comes out of The Leader’s mouth. The best way to turn that around is with a public that educates itself through independent media. And the only way independent media can sustain itself is through the generous support of people like you.
