The Message Box - Help Support Progressive Media
Thank you for being one of the nearly 98,000 members of the Message Box community. This inspiring group includes political activists, operatives, candidates, and volunteers. I consider it a privilege to communicate with you several times a week during this critically important election. If you want to upgrade your subscription to support this newsletter and receive more content and analysis, I am offering a 20% discount on annual subscriptions. Either way, thank you for joining me on this journey and for everything you are doing to defeat MAGA extremists up and down the ballot. Dan Today, I wanted to share a special offer from my friends at Crooked Media. No matter who wins (and it better be Kamala Harris), one thing’s clear from this election: the Right-Wing media machine has never been more powerful. Donald Trump did one traditional media interview last month and, as it turns out, he agreed to do it by accident. He communicates almost exclusively on Right-Wing television networks like Fox News and Newsmax, as well as MAGA-friendly podcasts like Full Send and the Shawn Ryan Show. Trump tells his story to his voters on his terms. While Democrats have made progress in recent years, our megaphone pales in comparison. We witnessed the dangerous effects of media asymmetry this cycle. From conspiracy theories about Hurricane Helene to the lies about migrants eating pets in Springfield, lives are being put at risk by the unabated spread of misinformation through our media ecosystem. This is not a new problem, but it has worsened since Trump stepped down from that escalator nine years ago. Jon, Jon, and Tommy founded Crooked Media back in 2017 to provide a progressive counterbalance to Fox News, Breitbart, and the rest. The company has grown tremendously over the years, but there is much more work to do. Crooked’s mission is to create a space for honest conversations about news, politics, and the world around us. We’re committed to maintaining that mission no matter the outcome of this election. Many of you are avid consumers of Pod Save America and other Crooked content — and for that I am very grateful. Another way to support Crooked’s mission is to join the Friends of the Pod subscription program, which gives you access to subscriber-exclusive shows like my Pollercoaster podcast, ad-free episodes of Pod Save America, and a fantastic community on our Discord. Now’s the perfect time to join because Crooked is currently offering 25% off new annual subscriptions. Head over to crooked.com/friends to take advantage of this offer. In addition to supporting the important political work at Vote Save America, your annual subscription allows Crooked to invest in new shows, content, and initiatives to push back against the MAGA media. Thank you for considering and for your efforts leading up to this election. You're currently a free subscriber to The Message Box. For the full experience, upgrade your subscription. |
