Televise Trump’s impeachment trial
ABC, CBS, and NBC must televise the full Trump impeachment trial in the Senate -- live as it happens and throughout prime time -- nationwide for every American to see.
Why is this important?
When impeachment proceedings against President Nixon began, the public wasn't convinced. But by the time he left office, Americans of all parties were overwhelmingly in support of his removal.
What changed? A major factor was PBS’s decision to broadcast the Watergate hearings in full -- 247 hours total. Millions of viewers tuned in as the story of the Watergate break-in, the cover-up, the payoffs, and the dirty tricks unfolded before their eyes.
This level of public accountability can make a major difference. That’s why -- as the Senate begins its impeachment trial of President Trump -- the three big broadcasters (ABC, CBS, and NBC) must follow PBS’s example and air the trial in full, live as it unfolds and throughout prime time.
No matter what happens during the trial, the American people deserve every opportunity to witness it firsthand. We have a right to participate in the impeachment process -- and make informed decisions for ourselves.
We're now in a political climate marked by misinformation and distractions that would be unheard of in the Nixon era. The ONLY way to cut through all of that is with the absolute, unvarnished truth -- not with updates filtered through cable news spin or the president's tweets.
In this historic moment for our democracy, the three big broadcasters must prioritize keeping the American people informed and included. Add your name to tell ABC, CBS, and NBC: televise Trump’s impeachment trial, live and throughout prime time.
