Stop Media Monopoly Billionaire Rupert Murdoch Taking Over Sky Protect Democracy
Media baron Rupert Murdoch is trying to take control of Sky TV. He already has too much influence over our news. This new power-grab would give him even more. The more power Murdoch has, the more he makes politicians listen to him instead of voters.
We can stop this. The first step is to persuade the minister in charge of newspapers and TV, Karen Bradley MP, to launch an independent investigation - with the power to stop Murdoch's takeover going through. Karen Bradley will be scared of upsetting Murdoch. He already owns newspapers like The Sun, and he can use these to bully her. By building a huge, urgent petition, we'll prove that the British public wants Karen Bradley to stand up to Rupert Murdoch.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Competition and Markets Authority has already looked into the proposed acquisition of Sky Plc by 21st Century Fox.
