trump lies outright during every briefing.

Demand networks stop airing Trump’s coronavirus briefings live. Trump’s continuous lies spread dangerous misinformation.

Trump continues to spread misinformation and outright lies via his daily coronavirus briefings. Trump’s briefings are carried live by almost every network, which means that millions of Americans are receiving misinformation about a public health crisis that’s unfiltered and mostly unchallenged.

CNN and MSNBC have decided to cut away from Trump’s briefings, choosing not to air his pivots to political rants.

Urge all networks to follow suit! Sign the petition to all major broadcasting stations: Stop airing Donald Trump's press conferences on COVID-19 live.

and spreads disinformation and lies.

PBS keeps doing the steno thing - going thru "what the president said" every day. That is not reporting the news. That's called taking the bait.
