Call on lawmakers to ban politicians and federal officials from owning, investing in, or directly influencing media outlets. A free press is essential to democracy and the exchange of information. Interference erodes the free press and the separation of press and state. We are seeing a lack of journalistic integrity and an increase in biased reporting and misinformation, due to major media and social media outlets being owned by oligarchs with close ties to politicians that directly influence content. Fight against the suppression of information!
