Google Is Clamping Down on Progressive News—Fight Back

By now you may have heard about how Google launched a new algorithm designed to combat fake news.

Then came the shocker: Google targeted AlterNet as fake news, as well as dozens of other progressive news sites. Almost overnight, we lost roughly 1.2 million readers.

A giant conglomerate with no journalists or editors is deciding what you should read, watch and hear. If not stopped, Google will become an ever-tightening “information noose” for independent media and alternative voices.

Can you commit to supporting AlterNet in this battle against Google?
