Friend, we have a fundraising deadline at midnight tonight and need 300 gifts to hit our July goal.

Friend,

Candace wrote to you about the big victory against the $111 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger: Paramount agreed to pause their acquisition after a federal judge suggested that the antitrust lawsuit here has merit. That was a big win. But the next few weeks are going to be even bigger.

On Aug. 6, the FCC votes on whether to “repeal” the broadcast ownership cap — the law that keeps one company from controlling stations reaching more than 39 percent of U.S. households. If it passes, it blows the doors wide open for even more consolidation. Carr announced his scheme in a Breitbart op-ed … but as a friendly reminder: The FCC does not have the authority to overrule a law that Congress passed.

And the ABC license fight enters its next phase as the comment period closes and the FCC decides whether to move toward a hearing.

Whatever happens in each of these fights, Free Press will be there. We need 300 gifts by tomorrow to make sure of it.

Your continued support keeps this work going strong. Will you make another gift to Free Press before tomorrow’s deadline?

We’ve filed legal challenges, delivered the research and public pressure that hold regulators and corporations accountable. None of that happens without your support.

Make your next gift before tomorrow’s midnight deadline.

Thanks for making a difference,

Dutch and the rest of us at Free Press

P.S. Free Press doesn’t take a cent from business, government or political parties. That independence is what lets us take on Carr, Paramount, Nexstar and anyone else who puts corporate profits over the public interest. Your gift today keeps us in every one of these fights.
