Protect free and independent press coverage, especially with the Iranian war

March 16

Stop impingement on our first amendment rights and ensure that there is unbiased news being shown to Americans. Do not let the Trump Republican administration control the narrative to put them into a better light. "Trump has blamed “woke” and “radical left” outlets for promoting what he calls “fake news.” But notably, he recently lashed out at the right-leaning Wall Street Journal for reporting on rising oil prices. Pete Hegseth previously complained that media outlets were reporting too much on U.S. casualties—even going so far as accusing the media of reporting on causalities just to “make Trump look bad.” He later said he can’t wait for billionaire Trump ally David Ellison to buy CNN to help control the narrative." This is a dangerous attack on free speech and independent press. do not let the fascist Trump government control the media.
