Jack, sign the petition to news networks: Do not give election deniers a platform.
SIGN THE PETITION
MAGA extremists are already laying the groundwork to dispute the results if Trump loses in 2024. GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik went on a national network news to declare she won’t commit to certifying the 2024 election–unless, of course, it’s her MAGA-leader Trump as the victor. Stefanik, among many other MAGA extremists, continues to promote the Big Lie.
This is blatant disinformation. Why are these election deniers given a platform on news networks to espouse lies and further erode the public’s trust? The news must stand for the facts instead of sensationalism.
News networks must stop giving election deniers a platform to promote lies. Networks cannot give the opportunity to spread misinformation and lies about election results on air.
Sign the petition: News networks cannot give election deniers a platform for espousing lies masked as news.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier calling on news networks to stop giving election deniers a platform:

Rep. Elise Stefanik appeared on ‘Meet the Press’ and stated she wouldn’t commit to certifying the 2024 election results. Then NBC News hired former Republican National Committee Chair and election denier Ronna McDaniel to its network as a paid on-air commentator. McDaniel has repeatedly promoted the Big Lie of voter fraud in the 2020 election and still, to this day, has refused to acknowledge President Biden was fairly elected. This decision was quickly met with many, many denouncements and, in turn, NBC News has now reversed their decision.
Why? Because election deniers do not respect or observe facts–basic, democratic facts. Giving propagators of the Big Lie a platform betrays viewers and violates journalistic commitments to the facts.
If you can’t tell the truth from fiction, you shouldn’t be given a news platform. Election deniers have no have no business appearing on any legitimate news outlet. Journalism is reporting the facts–not propping up a lie that is one of the reasons our democracy is teetering on the edge as we get closer and closer to the 2024 general election.
Sign the petition: News networks cannot give election deniers a platform for espousing lies masked as news.
