Applaud Gavin Newsom for Taking a Stand Against Fox News

California Governor Gavin Newsom just took a bold step to defend truth and accountability in American media — and he deserves our applause.

Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million for knowingly spreading disinformation about him and misleading the public. The lawsuit stems from false claims aired by Fox host Jesse Watters, who accused Newsom of lying about a phone call with Donald Trump, using a deceptively edited video to do so. Newsom’s legal action demands consequences for Fox’s continued pattern of distortion and dishonesty, reminiscent of its $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in 2023.

In Gov. Newsom’s own words: "If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump's behalf, it should face consequences — just like it did in the Dominion case."
This isn’t just about one clip; it’s about pushing back on a powerful media empire that routinely spreads misinformation to serve political interests. In a time when trust in journalism is vital to our democracy, leaders who fight for truth and transparency need our support.

Add your name to applaud Governor Gavin Newsom for standing up to Fox News and holding them accountable for spreading lies.
