The Media Research Center has made its decision: it’s putting politics — and an aggressive pro-Trump agenda — over facts. Sept. 30 letter to its mailing list begs for money to stop the impeachment of President Trump — not because it isn’t warranted, but because it would give a win to the “leftist media” (typographical enhancements in original):
The leftist media are DESPERATE to unseat President Trump. And, as we all know, sometimes desperation can be dangerous.
The liberal media are the ones leading the charge in this impeachment witch hunt. They are placing our country at risk as they work to unseat a democratically elected president in order to further their own extremist agenda!
The Media Research Center is putting everything we’ve got into stopping the liberal media in their tracks before they drag our country down the rabbit hole of leftist insanity, but your support is critical to our success.
If the liberal media and their congressional cronies win this battle, it will mean bad news for all of us as we approach the 2020 election. Will you consider contributing $75, $50, or even $25 to help fuel the fight against the liberal media’s impeachment crusade?
The situation is URGENT. The liberal media have been trying to oust President Trump since before he even set foot in the White House. Their Russia propaganda failed and now they are determined to take him down with their latest propaganda, regardless of how flimsy their evidence is.
The MRC is the only organization dedicated to taking on the liberal media and exposing and neutralizing their toxic bias. The media are not simply the Left’s megaphone, they are leading the charge against President Trump. And we are the only organization with the experience and skill to knock them off their high horse.
The liberal media think they can just spread their lies and the American people will swallow them. We are here to expose the truth and make sure that they are checked at every turn.
But we need your help to do it!
Please contribute $75, $50, or even $25 to fuel the fight again the liberal media’s impeachment crusade and help us stop them in their tracks!
Fight on!
The bottom of the MRC’s letter claims it’s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization aimed at improving “media culture” — but such groups are largely prohibited from engaging in political activity. And this letter isn’t about “media culture,” it’s a partisan letter about protecting a political figure. On its face, it certainly appears to be a violation of its nonprofit status.
Remember this letter the next time the MRC claims it’s only about “media research.”
