Tell Corporate Media: Stand Up for Watchdog Organizations

Media Matters is suing to stop a retaliatory FTC investigation triggered by its reporting on hate speech and ads on Elon Musk’s X. This probe isn’t about anything but transparency — instead, it’s about silencing a watchdog that exposed corporate negligence.

When watchdogs are punished for doing their job, all journalism is at risk. And if corporate media outlets stay silent, they normalize government-backed intimidation and weaken press freedom for everyone.

The press must speak out — not just to defend Media Matters, but to defend accountability itself. Journalism should expose power, not be punished for it.
