actionnetwork.orgUrge Congress to stop Trump’s information takeover and attacks on the press! Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is trying to destroy PBS and NPR and the House GOP has introduced a bill to gut funding for the public broadcasters. FCC Chair Brendan Carr is targeting CBS, NBC, and ABC for so-called “bias against Trump.” Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene are loudly attacking PBS, NPR, and any media critical of Trump. Trump’s assault on the free press and open internet began in his first term when he relentlessly attacked the media and his admin undid Net Neutrality. Now, we need Congress to use their power to stop Trump’s information takeover. Musk has said he’s “gunning” for public media. He wrote, “Taxpayer money should not be used to fund propaganda” when referring to NPR — straight out of the Trump media playbook. Rep. Greene called for the heads of NPR and PBS to testify in front of her DOGE subcommittee. Trump’s war on the media paired with Musk’s drive to destroy public services is a dangerous combination. Destroying reliable journalism will only give rise to more right-wing propaganda and disinformation. That’s exactly what Musk, Trump, Greene, and the GOP want. These attacks won’t end until Congress takes a stand to protect the free press, public journalism, and open internet access. Sign this petition to urge Congress to stop Trump’s information takeover and attacks on the press!
