Friend,

From Apple and Google succumbing to Trump’s haunted Justice Department to blood-sucking Brendan Carr twisting FCC rules to empower his corporate allies, the same pattern keeps repeating: Powerful corporations and government officials are working together to control what the public sees and hears.

This all adds up to a truly terrifying monster mash.

Free Press is fighting back — defending free speech, confronting Big Tech capitulation and speaking out against a dangerous media merger that could result in one company controlling what 81 percent of Americans watch.

It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark halls of power. But we’re still a few gifts short of our October goal of 100 donations. If you’re with us, make a gift before you finish all of your candy tonight.

Friend,

Trump’s ghastly FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has spent months threatening broadcasters who refuse to air propaganda — and rewarding those who comply.

Now he’s paving the way for Nexstar to buy Tegna — a deal that would give one company control over stations reaching 81 percent of U.S. households. Normally you only see a stake that large if you’re hunting Dracula.

It’s the same pattern again: Punish dissent, reward obedience — and tighten control over the flow of information.

Free Press is fighting back — filing your public comments to block the Nexstar-Tegna merger and exposing the harm behind this deal.

We need to reach our October goal of 100 grassroots gifts to help fuel this urgent work. We don’t take corporate or government money — ever. Will you make your first gift by midnight tomorrow to help fuel the fight against dangerous media consolidation?

Carr’s goal is clear: Reshape the media to serve Trump and his allies — while claiming to defend “the public interest.”

In reality, he’s using the FCC to protect the powerful and punish critics. Halloween season is supposed to be delightfully frightful, but Carr’s actions are genuinely unnerving.

Your support helps us challenge these abuses on multiple fronts.

We’re just shy of our 100-gift goal — start your very first donation to Free Press to help us finish strong before the end of the month.

Thank you for defending a media system that serves the public, not the powerful.

Candace and the rest of us at Free Press

P.S. Carr and Nexstar are trying to monopolize the airwaves. Your gift by midnight tomorrow will help us fight back.
