Right-wing media have become complicit in President Trump’s federalization of Washington, D.C. — airing his claims of a “crime crisis” without scrutiny and echoing authoritarian talking points. This kind of coverage isn’t just biased — it fuels a dangerous takeover of democracy. Newsrooms must stop enabling authoritarian spectacle and instead deliver real accountability reporting. Add your name to demand that media outlets stop normalizing Trump’s DC takeover and start defending democratic norms.
