Tell CNN to cancel its reckless town hall with billionaire Howard Schultz
On February 12, CNN will broadcast a town hall with former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Schultz, a billionaire businessman with zero governing experience, recently announced he is considering a run for president as an Independent, a disastrous move that would all but guarantee Donald Trump a second term in the White House.
Despite the public's overwhelmingly negative response to Schultz's announcement, CNN is once again delivering free airtime to a billionaire who stands to profit from a presidential run. Tell CNN to cancel its reckless town hall with Howard Schultz, who is putting the future of our country at risk by helping Donald Trump stay in the White House.
In the runup to the 2016 Election, CNN and other major networks provided Donald Trump with countless hours of free airtime -- giving him a platform to spew hate and disinformation. Now, CNN is proving it learned nothing from its editorial malfeasance by once again lending precious airtime to another ego-crazed billionaire with no governing experience.
Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Pete Buttigieg, and Elizabeth Warren are among the diverse roster of serious candidates who have already announced their campaigns for president -- all of whom CNN has ignored in order to give voice to a white straight man with the means to buy his way into the race.
CNN must do better in the 2020 Election cycle -- the very future of our country depends on it. Tell CNN to cancel its irresponsible town hall with billionaire Howard Schultz.

Why is this important?
I am outraged that CNN is giving free airtime to another ego-crazed billionaire who will guarantee Donald Trump is re-elected.
