Dear friends,,

MintPress News, and all independent media for that matter, are being censored andbharassed like never before by the 1% - morebspecifically by Facebook and Google - platforms where the majority of the public get their news. After the 2016 election, thebestablishment partnered up with the biggest players in information sharing - Facebook and Google - to exterminate independent,watchdog journalism like MintPress underbthe guise of fighting "fake news" after HillaryClinton lost the election to Donald Trump.

Not only was Hillary's loss blamed on Russia, but any journalism outlet that reported on her hawkish and exploitative political background was deemed as Putin minions spreading fake news.

Under the Biden administration nothing has changed and we still need your help!

We need to restore the fourth estate now more than ever. We need to show the establishment that thou can't silence us and we need your help to fight back. WhileF acebook, Google, and others ramp up theire fforts to make watchdog journalisma lgorithmically disappear, we're ramping upo our efforts to circumvent corporatec ensorship. The state of our free press is on life support, and it needs to be saved.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help.

Here's how we're being targeted:

Facebook is trying to control what news yous ee in your newsfeed. Facebook will soon be removing [CENSORING] watchdog journalism or any kind of news that smashes the status quo from reaching you, potentially rendering independent journalism pages useless on a platform that nearly half the global population uses to stay informed.Facebook is already flagging several of our articles and our reader's political comments as spam. It's only a matter of time before our page and some of our readers end up in facebook jail. Facebook has also admitted to deleting user accounts at the behest of the U.S. and Israeli governments. Hopefully we're wrong, but it feels like our Facebook days are numbered.

MintPress articles are even being blocked by google News in search results. Not only that,but we are consistently being threatened to have our ads cut off by one of our main sources of revenue: Google Adsense, which is flagging several of our investigative pieces as "not appropriate" for advertisers.

This and more has driven our readership down by nearly 60% in the last year.

Here's how you can help:

We're looking for loyal readers to commit to supporting MintPress News for as little as $2.50/month. At MintPress, your contribution doesn't just make you a member. You become a Citizen Activist and at the $5/ month contribution level, you begin to access exciting perks, too!
