Crooks and Liars continues to stand against misinformation and media complicity at a critical moment for independent journalism. For four years, Donald Trump's persistent campaign after his 2020 election loss has been amplified by powerful allies and a media landscape that often failed to critically examine his actions. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel invested hundreds of millions to support his political resurgence, while right-wing media outlets like Fox News systematically shielded his most controversial actions from thorough scrutiny. When we founded Crooks and Liars (TWENTY years ago!), our mission was clear: to expose media failures that had previously led the country astray, such as the misleading coverage that helped drive the Iraq War.
