Tell NBC and ABC: Don’t bow to Trump.

Donald Trump just demanded that NBC and ABC be "terminated" for airing stories he doesn't like. This isn't just another rant—it's a full-blown attack on press freedom, and it's dangerous.

Trump is using the power of the presidency to threaten journalists and punish media outlets that hold him accountable. He's calling for their broadcast licenses to be revoked, all because they dared to report the truth. And with Republicans in control of Congress, his threats carry more weight than ever.

NBC and ABC must not cave. If they give in to Trump's intimidation, it sends a message to every newsroom in America: report the truth, and you'll be punished. That’s how authoritarian regimes operate—not democracies.

Tell NBC and ABC leadership: “Don’t bow to Trump – hold him accountable. Continue providing unbiased coverage about Trump’s failures and misconduct. Our democracy depends on the truth.”

When Trump targets reporters for exposing scandals like Bridgegate or criticizing his allies, it’s not just a tantrum—it’s a threat to democracy itself.

The FCC and these networks must stand firm. Trump is testing whether America will let him bully the press into silence. We can't afford to fail that test.

Freedom of the press is non-negotiable. NBC and ABC must push back loudly and clearly—and refuse to be cowed by Trump's threats.

Our democracy depends on truth-tellers. When power demands silence, it's up to all of us to speak out. Tell NBC and ABC: Don’t bow to Trump. Defend the First Amendment. Defend democracy.

The petition to NBC and ABC leadership reads: “Don’t bow to Trump – hold him accountable. Continue providing unbiased coverage about Trump’s failures and misconduct. Our democracy depends on the truth.”
