If the rules are abolished, residents would face a drastic loss of local news coverage – and jobs – as media companies consolidate. Eliminating the rules would allow one company to own the major newspaper, TV outlets and radio stations in a single market. The plan is tailor-made for big media companies like the right-wing Sinclair Broadcast Group, which plans to buy Tribune Media. Tell the Federal Communications Commission to vote NO on Pai’s dangerous proposal. Trump photo courtesy of Gage Skidmore. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/dont-let-the-fcc-crush-local-news
