The secret to building America's most radical movement!

Dear WND reader,

For decades, good Americans have criticized the "mainstream media" for being "biased," "one-sided" and "liberal."

But in truth, we're way beyond "bias." More accurate terms to describe today's big media would be: "dishonest," "corrupt" and "perverse."

For the latest evidence, check out Time and Newsweek.

To celebrate Obama coming out of the closet on same-sex marriage – which everyone alive knows he has long favored, but just hasn't admitted until now – Newsweek enshrined Obama's head with a rainbow-colored halo. (He's often depicted with a halo, but this was the first multicolored one.) Newsweek's cover headline? "THE FIRST GAY PRESIDENT" – which in turn promotes the cover story praising Obama by homosexual writer Andrew Sullivan, whom Newsweek pretends is a "conservative" (but who isn't by any rational definition a conservative), thereby demonstrating its "fair and balanced" coverage by including "conservatives."

This is the kind of inane Alice-in-Wonderland fantasy that is offered to us as "news" these days. But if Newsweek doesn't grab you, there's always Time.

Time's cover, depicting a 26-year-old model-like mother provocatively and immodestly breastfeeding a boy most people would consider far too old to be still nursing, has been widely described as the sexual exploitation of a child – in effect, soft child-porn. As one expert put it, "the image of him sucking at the breast of his mother is being used to feed sexual fantasies." And of course, the little boy will have to live with that graphic public image of him for the rest of his life.

This is what Newsweek (whose entire operation was sold for $1 a few years ago in return for the buyer absorbing its gargantuan debt) and Time now resort to in their desperate quest for readers and relevance.

And while these titillating media sideshows entertain us, on center stage is the relentless dismantling of America by a disgraced and repudiated Obama administration. But who gave us that?

You know the answer. The biggest reason America is writhing under the "leadership" of the most destructive and dangerous president in history is that Obama had in 2008 an advantage shared by no other presidential candidate ever – the total, unabashed support of the "mainstream media."

After four years of nonstop disaster, you'd think the media would have learned from their terrible mistake. But no – they're still supporting Obama in virtual lockstep, and are getting worse.

Indeed, today's "big media" increasingly resemble the state-run propaganda ministry we see in China, with its gigantic Xinhua "News" Agency – in reality a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party. Or Russia, where although criticism of the government can be found in some newspapers and on the Internet, the country's national television channels are essentially extensions of the state: "They are all either controlled by the Kremlin or run by editors who know what not to say," says Allison Gill, director of the Human Rights Watch office in Russia.

Here's the problem: You cannot have a free country without a free press. Yet America's "big media" today – especially the national broadcast and cable TV news (except perhaps Fox), as well as the major trendsetting newspapers like the New York Times – have devolved into a de facto government propaganda ministry.

That's where WND comes in.

At WND, we don't mock patriotic Americans trying to set their country right. We don't rewrite White House press releases and call it news. We don't bow and scrape before President Obama or anyone else. We don't pretend abortion is OK, or that same-sex marriage is good, or that global warming is "proven science," or that more government is the solution to all problems, or that Palestinian leaders want peace, or that the Constitution is old-fashioned, or that the "Federal Reserve" is good for America. In short, we're not politically correct and we have no sacred cows. Instead, our team of experienced, professional journalists strives to do one thing – to tell the truth that Americans desperately need and deserve to hear.

Now, many of you read WND every day, you appreciate it, you trust it, you wouldn't want to be without it. For that we are endlessly grateful.

But what you might not realize is that what we do is very difficult and costly. It isn't easy taking on the media elite, slaying the dragons of political correctness, bucking the tide of conventional wisdom, and constantly challenging tyranny, injustice and lies.

If you believe, as Thomas Jefferson did, that "the only security of all is in a free press," and if you want to see major growth in WND's kind of courageous, watchdog reporting – rather than the submissive, lapdog approach coming from what Rush Limbaugh calls today's "state-run media" – I'm asking you to consider becoming a WND "subscriber."

But wait, you say, I thought WND was free. Yes, it is free, and will remain that way. However, here's what I'm getting at:

Traditionally, newspapers have relied not only on advertising, but also on reader subscriptions for financial support. But in the Internet age, we find we can deliver the news to far more people by keeping the service free. Does that mean we have to lose the needed subscription revenue? Not necessarily.

It's a time-honored tradition in the newspaper business that free newspapers ask for voluntary subscriptions. As a rule, satisfied readers who depend on a free publication for their news don't mind paying a little bit for it.

That's why voluntary subscription donations have been the lifeblood of many "free" newspapers over the years – it's the honor system, you might say.

If you'd consider supporting WND with your "voluntary subscription," here are a couple of easy options:

1. Simply choose the amount you would like to donate for your voluntary subscription payment by using the "Amount" drop-down menu. Then select the frequency of your donation from the "Frequency" drop-down menu – either monthly or a one-time donation. If you wish to donate monthly, the amount you select will be deducted from your credit card on or around the first day of each month. (Just call or e-mail WND if you ever want to cancel or change the amount.)
2. You may also donate to WND's Legal Defense Fund, to help us battle the lawsuits and threats that always accompany honest journalism.

As yet another alternative, you may send a check to WND.com, P.O. Box 1627, Medford, OR 97501. (Be sure to mark your check "voluntary subscription payment" or "legal defense fund.")

Finally, if you prefer, you may donate by calling our toll-free order line: 1-800-4-WND-COM (1-800-496-3266).

Thank you very much. All of us at WND deeply appreciate your support. It's truly what enables us to keep going. And I think you'll agree, with everything going on in America today, we need a vibrant, free press more than ever.

Sincerely,

David Kupelian
