t r u t h o u t | Ebola is being carried into the United States by members =
of ISIS sneaking over the border with Canada - but climate change is not a =
real threat. America's foreign policy is carried out for the good of all ma=
nkind. President Obama is too hard on Wall Street and too soft on immigrant=
s and Muslims (because he's secretly a socialist). And there's no racism or=
sexism in the US worth speaking about - except against white people and me=
n.
None of the above is true. But you wouldn't know it from watching cable new=
s or reading most corporate media publications.
Sometimes, it seems the more blatant the inaccuracies and misrepresentation=
, the louder it gets pumped out - as if mainstream media outlets are compet=
ing to see who can tell the most lies. The truth is, today's media environm=
ent IS hyper-competitive. Those in media who aren't anchored by principles,=
who care only about staying in business and turning a profit, will stoop t=
o anything: whether it's advertisements disguised as news stories, misleadi=
ng headlines, or just straight-up out-and-out falsehoods. The facts and the=
public interest don't matter.
There is an alternative, but it depends on you. Truthout stands apart from =
the nonsensical churn of corporate news because we have genuine independenc=
e - an independence that is hard-won and reliant on reader support. Our las=
t fundraising drive fell short, so it's vital that we get your help if our =
work is going to continue - can you make a tax-deductible donation today?
