Via Truthout:

Dear Readers,

The revolution in Egypt and the power of the Internet have ripped the mask off of the corporate-controlled media in the United States. While brave journalists were in the street from day one, reporting on the uprising, tapping their sources and interviewing experts inside Egypt, the US media barely scratched the surface.

If you’d like another example of this, turn on ANY television news program tonight. One of the top stories will be about "budget cuts." Watch the mainstream coverage of the budget debate. Then, click here to watch Professor Richard Wolff explain the real reason we’re in this difficult situation and why politicians are trying to force poor and working people to pay for the mistakes of the financial elite.

No one in the traditional media will be explaining the truth behind the "budget cuts." No one.

Help us continue to crack the facade. Help us amplify voices that dare to question the powerful. Please share this video with your friends and family. And please make a tax-deductible donation to Truthout tonight - we can’t do it without you.

Click here to donate.
