Right now, Nexstar is trying to acquire TEGNA. If this deal goes through, the new megacorporation would control enough local TV stations to reach 4 out of 5 households. And here’s what to expect when Nexstar buys our local networks: mass layoffs and blatant propaganda – including segments urging the public to support special government favors for companies like Nexstar! I just signed a Common Cause petition urging Congress and the FCC to say NO to this dangerous merger. I hope that you will, too. https://act.commoncause.org/petitions/protect-local-news-stop-the-nexstar-tegna-merger
