Just Nine Days Left in 2025—And a Decision That Matters

There are just nine days left in 2025, and our current Flyover funding round is set to close next month. More than 60% of the round is already subscribed, and once it’s filled, this opportunity will be gone.

We don’t want our most loyal readers to look back and realize they meant to participate—but missed the window.

As we head into 2026, a bigger question we are asking our readers is:

Are we really going to enter another year with the same tired, biased, politically motivated legacy media?

More celebrity journalists chasing clicks.
More opinions disguised as reporting.
More political agendas shaping coverage instead of facts.

Or are we going to charge ahead and make a meaningful change?

The Flyover was built on a simple but increasingly rare idea:
Fact-based reporting, no political agenda, no spin, no outrage—just common-sense news for common-sense Americans.

Changing how millions of Americans get their news doesn’t happen automatically. It happens when readers step forward—not just to read, but to own and help build something better.

If you believe news should inform, not inflame…
If The Flyover has become part of your daily routine…
If you want to help shape the future of independent, fact-first journalism…

This is your opportunity to invest before the end of 2025 and before this round closes next month.
