Save Our Democracy: Americans Deserve Better News.

The Issue

Hi - I’m Bob Taylor and it's clear something has gone wrong with the way Americans get their news.

Today, the news is less about helping people understand the world and more about keeping people tuned in. Stories are framed to fit narratives, outrageous clips are rewarded with views/clicks, and people are left feeling manipulated instead of informed.

This is not a left or right problem. It is a trust problem.

If people are constantly pushed to react instead of think, and to choose a side instead of understand an issue, we lose something essential: the ability to make informed decisions.

Watch my video on how we plan to address this issue here.

By signing this petition, you are saying:

  • The news should inform, not inflame.
  • People deserve tools to compare coverage and recognize framing.
  • Healthier news consumption can help build a better-informed electorate.

If you believe our country needs a healthier way to consume news, please sign and share. Every signature helps show that demand for something better is real.

Thank you for reading,
Bob
