Don\u2019t surrender to Trump.","description":"

Trump just launched another social media rant demanding NBC fire <\/em>late night host Seth Meyers for daring to criticize him. [1]<\/p>

And soon after, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr publicly amplified the attack<\/strong>, turning Trump\u2019s tirade into another unmistakable show of official pressure. [2]<\/p>

Just like when ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel \u2013 then reinstated him after you spoke out \u2013 NBC\u2019s parent company, Comcast, is expected to bid on a multi-billion dollar merger deal that requires Trump and his FCC\u2019s approval. [3]<\/p>

You can see the implicit deal on offer here: silence the Trump critics on your network, and we\u2019ll rubber stamp your deal.<\/strong><\/p>

Trump wins one less critic on the airwaves, and Comcast\u2019s shareholders get richer. These kinds of actions are what lands a country in totalitarianism, where nobody is allowed to disagree with the people in charge.<\/p>

NBC has a choice \u2013 but they\u2019ll only pick the side of courage, transparency, and democracy if they know customers like you are demanding it. Our voices right now could be the difference between a network standing firm against Trump or collapsing under pressure.<\/p>

If you agree that our media should hold the powerful accountable \u2013 NOT bow to them \u2013 sign the petition to tell NBC to keep Seth Meyers on the air >><\/strong><\/p>
