John,

First, Trump spent weeks downplaying the threat of the coronavirus pandemic and ignoring the science.

Now that the virus is disrupting lives across the country, he’s spreading false and misleading information in his live “briefings.”

It’s a danger to the public, and it has to stop. In the middle of a pandemic, spreading blatant misinformation to millions of Americans has deadly consequences.

We can’t force Trump to stop lying, but we can call on TV networks to stop carrying his lie-filled, daily “briefings” live on the air.

If you agree, add your name to our joint petition with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee right now. Tell NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, and MSNBC to STOP carrying Trump’s “briefings” live on national television >>

People across this country are afraid. They’re out of work, concerned about the health of themselves and their families, and they’re looking to the media for reliable information.

But by carrying Trump’s lie-filled remarks live on the air, networks are allowing false and misleading information to be spread, unchecked in real time.

Let’s be clear about this: the president is lying and spreading misleading information about public health and the administration's pandemic response. The networks have to act to protect their viewers and public health.

We need reliable, factual information about the coronavirus from the media, not Trump’s lies. We all have to raise our voices right now to demand this change.

If you agree NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, and MSNBC should stop carrying Trump’s lie-filled “briefings” live on the air, add your name to our joint petition with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee right now >>

Thank you for raising your voice. We can’t afford to let Trump spread lies unchecked. American lives are on the line.

— Charles
