National Press Club Statement on Nexstar Decision To Air LIV Golf on The CW
Riyadh wants to use golf to get Americans to forget about murder. We must not let them get away with it. We call on Nexstar employees -- many of whom are journalists -- to demand management explain why they have partnered with the murderers of a journalist. We urge Nexstar to do the right thing and cancel their bloody golf show. And if they don't drop the program here is what we can do: don't watch it; and write each sponsor asking them not to sponsor."
