Beck Watch: Fearless MoJo Readers

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


MoJo reader Steve G. exhibited some smart, fearless activism (read the comment) yesterday when he called the companies that still advertise on Glenn Beck’s show. Three hours later, the consumer services specialist at Eggland’s Best responded with this message: “Pending further review Eggland’s Best has suspended TV advertising on the Glen Beck Show.”

Sure enough, Eggland’s Best is absent from today’s list of Beck holdouts:

LET’S TALK ABOUT OPTIMISM FOR A CHANGE

Democracy and journalism are in crisis mode—and have been for a while. So how about doing something different?

Mother Jones did. We just merged with the Center for Investigative Reporting, bringing the radio show Reveal, the documentary film team CIR Studios, and Mother Jones together as one bigger, bolder investigative journalism nonprofit.

And this is the first time we’re asking you to support the new organization we’re building. In “Less Dreading, More Doing,” we lay it all out for you: why we merged, how we’re stronger together, why we’re optimistic about the work ahead, and why we need to raise the First $500,000 in online donations by June 22.

It won’t be easy. There are many exciting new things to share with you, but spoiler: Wiggle room in our budget is not among them. We can’t afford missing these goals. We need this to be a big one. Falling flat would be utterly devastating right now.

A First $500,000 donation of $500, $50, or $5 would mean the world to us—a signal that you believe in the power of independent investigative reporting like we do. And whether you can pitch in or not, we have a free Strengthen Journalism sticker for you so you can help us spread the word and make the most of this huge moment.
