Re: Take action: Stop letting Trump get away with dangerous hate speech

Friend, much of the media has seemingly become desensitized to Donald Trump. That is very, very dangerous. [Sign the petition: Demand news networks stop giving Trump a free pass.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( At a recent rally, Trump [pledged]( to "root out the communist, Marxist, fascist, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.” Yes, that verbiage, “vermin”, is hate speech and propaganda used by the likes of Hitler and Nazis. Yet, the media again [failed]( to accurately cover these threats and call them for what they are–dangerous, bigoted rants of a fascist. Not calling Trump’s hate speech extreme makes it the norm and acceptable–we will NOT accept that.

Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding the media stop giving Trump a pass: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: Demand news networks stop giving Trump a free pass.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Donald Trump is repeatedly gifted primetime news and front page print coverage, but the media is prioritizing reality show-type sensationalism over debunking his lies, denouncing his vitriol, or even simply acknowledging his authoritarian extremism. TV news networks are giving Trump a [pass]( on his extremist, malevolent rhetoric. We cannot be desensitized to Trump’s dangerous hate speech. We must call it for what it is and NOT ignore it as another Trump-ism. The coverage of TV news networks does not capture the danger posed by a wannabe-authoritarian and hate-filled attention seeker. Ignoring his hate speech is validating his rhetoric. Trump is a direct danger to American democracy and should be covered as such in the media.
