A wasteland: Political coverage ignores the threat to democracy by Jennifer Rubin in Washington Post

Americans must come together and demand better media. We must financially support local and non-profit journalism that informs, exposes, and uplifts with necessary (costly!) investigative journalism. We must push for robust public media like the healthiest democracies have.
We must #FixMediaNow

Our democracy depends on an educated public, on information that Americans can use to make voting decisions.
Our Founders knew that. And we have gotten away from seeking those goals in recent years, as too many media outlets have focused on profit over public service.
The FCC has the authority to act to improve American public debate. We ask them to engage in that process.

Today's #BrightSpot in local news.
Reade Brower, owner of most of the daily newspapers in Maine has sold them to the National Trust for Local News.
Many of the best news outlets are nonprofit so this is a heartening move.
https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2023-07-10/press-herald-other-masthead-maine-papers-sold-to-national-trust-for-local-newsThank you Reade Brower and National Trust for Local News.

“Based solely on the facts and the law, Fox does not deserve a license to own a broadcast station.”
Excellent editorial in the Toledo Blade today on our FCC petition.
https://www.toledoblade.com/opinion/editorials/2023/07/10/editorial-fox-law-vs-power/stories/20230710008“If the long-established law behind the FCC character clause has any validity, it must be enforced against Fox Broadcasting, where internal documents from the cable news side of the corporation shows that profit comes before truth or the national interest.”

📣The Capitol insurrection was 30 months ago today… and we’re announcing that @MAD_democracy has petitioned the #FCC to deny the renewal of Fox Corp’s broadcast license for #FOX29philly.
Owning a broadcast station is more than a business—it is a public trust. Rupert Murdoch & FOX have undermined that trust by manipulating its audience & knowingly broadcasting false news about the 2020 election.
