Media Directory
Both Traditional and Social Media have increasingly been captured by the billionaire class. Investigative journalism in the public interest is disappearing. In its place, coordinated messaging propaganda paints a mythical picture of an America founded exclusively by and for white Christian men and being overrun by black and brown aliens bent on destroying their theocracy. It is more important than ever that we have access to a free, fact-based press.
