James,
Musk is “gunning” for NPR and PBS, according to The New York Times. But to
kill our public media, he’ll have to get Congress to slash millions in
funding. [ [link removed] ]And we are NOT going to let him get away with it.
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
Musk famously said “you are the media now” — signaling he thinks all the
news we need is from his own Twitter “X” or Trump’s Truth Social. And with
billionaire buddies like Jeff Bezos busy censoring cartoons as owner of
The Washington Post and Mark Zuckerberg putting an end to fact-checking at
Facebook, his plan is quickly falling into place.
It’s not hard to see why PBS and NPR are Musk and Trump’s next targets –
they’re some of the few outlets they don't have control over. By gutting
this public service, Trump and Musk and their oligarch friends will be
free to take over even MORE of our media, lining their own pockets and
making it even easier for them to spread their own propaganda.
The good news is we’ve stopped these threats before and we’re ready to do
it again — but it’s going to take ALL of us to do it.
[ [link removed] ]Free and independent media is more vital than ever, but for Trump and
Musk, it’s one of the last remaining obstacles standing in the way of
their totalitarian dreams. WIll you urgently send a message straight to
Congress to save PBS and NPR?
[ [link removed] ]ADD YOUR NAME
Republicans have dreamed of gutting our free, fact-based independent
public media for YEARS. But they’ve never been able to do it because it
turns out, people on BOTH sides of the aisle (even in Congress!) believe
in a public media that is required by law to be objective and free from
corporate or political agendas.
When Trump tried to slash public media funding during his first term,
millions mobilized to stop him. Trump lost that fight, but this time could
be different as Republicans line up behind him and Musk pushes harder than
ever for major cuts.
To save these beloved institutions, we need to mobilize in even bigger
numbers than ever before.
[ [link removed] ]We're already hard at work mobilizing record breaking numbers and
relentlessly lobbying Congress to keep public media alive. Will you add
your name to send a message straight to Congress?
When we organize, we win.
