On its late night news show, the local Fox affiliate had "experts" telling people not to panic and to hold onto their stock. They gave the same advice back in November, when the market first began to plummet. Investors would be almost 20 percent richer if they had done the opposite of what the experts had recommended back then. It's too bad that people can't sue Fox for their losses, then maybe Fox would try to find experts who had some idea what they were talking about.

There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election coverage, and we've fallen behind on reaching our goal. Any amount you give today will bring us closer to making our reporting possible—and a generous donor has agreed to match all online donations, so your impact will be doubled.
