This Trump-aligned Oligarch takeover of the media is a huge threat to our democracy! Please make those calls!!
This unprecedented media consolidation will disrupt the TV and film industry and threaten our constitutionally protected free speech and free press. A family of billionaires with a political agenda should not control most of our news and entertainment sources.
Congress must conduct aggressive oversight of the federal government’s approval process, and State Attorneys General must challenge the legality of this blatantly corrupt merger.
