"It's gameday," were the opening words I heard when I turned on CNN in Detroit this morning.

Jubilant and giddy as if they were anchoring from a college football game, CNN anchors and their army of out-of-touch pundits pontificated on the theatrics of it all: will Bernie and Warren joust like American gladiators?; who will get the political time of death announcement first between Beto, Booker, Gillibrand, and Klobuchar? Will Joe Biden roar like a lion this go 'round or again resemble a lifeless, corporate mannequin?

Empty, hollow, and the same exact "news" coverage that helped elect Donald Trump in the first place.

Thanks to many of YOU who have joined Status Coup as members (we're currently at 641 of you!) we're here on the ground filling the large void left by a corporate media more interested in performing for each other's amusement than reporting from the trenches and speaking directly with the struggling, abused citizens of the United Corporations of America.



Unlike CNN's buffoonery, Status Coup spends its time—that YOU are funding—by doing real investigative journalism while also covering real stories of real people that you WILL NEVER SEE on corporate airwaves. Just yesterday, I had two major meetings related to our reporting on the Flint water crisis. I can't go into full details yet, but let's just say I both delivered major information to entities who can actually do something for the people of Flint AND learned some incredible, mind-numbing information about the depth of the corruption that led to the water crisis in the first place.  Stay tuned for more on that... (and become a member so we can stay on the story)

We also covered a truly riveting event with Danny Glover, Cornel West, and Nina Turner at an African American seniors center. Between the hot temperature in the room (yes I was shvitzing) and the fire coming out of the trio's mouth, I was worried some folks might pass out! Of course, I interviewed attendees after (check our YouTube channel for those), who dropped truths on what's ACTUALLY happening on the ground in places like Detroit: from redlining to a jobless city (thanks to the offshoring of its manufacturing heart) to systemic governmental corruption so pervasive the masses have become more and more unable to believe in any politician—these are the real issues and people's stories you'll never hear on CNN.

Status Coup exists to elevate REALITY and give the microphone back to the people. And we're doing it the old-fashioned way...through YOU. I have not taken one meeting or call with a special interest, corporation, or scummy plutocrat trying to fund our media network (and trust me there have been efforts).

We're now just 59 members away from reaching 700. The more we grow through membership, the more we're able to report in the field (it's not cheap), hire additional reporters, and advertise....if you didn't know, YouTube is suppressing the hell out of us!

Become a member for as cheap as a cup of coffee. JOIN the MEDIA REVOLUTION NOW for as low as $5-10 bucks a month....or $179 annually.

And stay plugged to our YouTube channel, Twitter, and Facebook. We'll be live today and tomorrow from the Detroit debate!

Progressively,
Jordan
