John,
June’s presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was riddled with Trump’s lies and disinformation — and he went totally unchecked. Trump’s false and misleading statements only helped to deepen polarization of viewers. We can’t continue to allow candidates to spew disinformation unchecked on live television in front of the entire country. That’s why we are demanding live fact-checking for all future presidential debates.
Join us and sign the petition as we call on the media to incorporate real-time fact-checking by independent, non-partisan experts in all future debates.
Millions of Americans tune into these live debates, and we can’t allow Trump’s outright lies to be interpreted as fact.
All presidential candidates should be held to high standards of transparency and accountability, and should demonstrate a commitment to truth and accuracy.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
