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.
