Actress Rose McGowan has certainly been vocal on social media recently, taking on various causes and supporting her fellow celebrities — like her recent essay defending Renée Zellweger — in blunt, aggressive language.
Her latest open letter, addressed to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, is another example of her no-nonsense activism. (You can read the full letter, below.)

Co-addressees on the letter include the media-mogul Murdochs and major TV networks like CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS and NBC. McGowan accuses them of “poisoning” the American public with their coverage of the election.
The former Charmed star encourages media networks to take a good look at what they’re producing and putting out there, and she says they’re not too late to make changes. But she does fault them for helping spread misinformation and fear-mongering, even referencing the Flint, Mich. tainted-water catastrophe.

“You are causing a worldwide sickness,” she writes. “You are POISONING us as sure as Flint is poisoning its citizens. You are poisoning your very own family and us, your brothers and sisters.”
Some people on Twitter didn’t like her letter, and were quick to blame Trump opponent Hillary Clinton for America’s problems.
Here is McGowan’s full letter:
AN OPEN LETTER TO CNN FOX CBS ABC NBC VIACOM THE MURDOCHS AND DONALD J. TRUMP
RE: STATE OF EPIDEMIC/ZIKA2
Dear Enablers and Donald,
After the Republican National Convention I wrote an open letter to a rabid Trump supporter. I realize now the letter was for you, Donald and media men. It’s you I’ve been wanting to talk to. You who have been stressing me and most of the nation out to the point of a diagnosable sickness. WE ARE BEING POISONED. We, the public, are being sickened by an ever expanding assault on our right to live a healthy and free life. Donald & you ratings driven colluders, are holding us the public hostage and exposing us to disease. A massive DISease.
Our symptoms are knots in our shoulders, sick feelings in the pit of our vaginas, stomach tightness, shortness of breath, wildly elevated stress levels — we are now chronically experiencing a true mass illness.
Caused by you. You all had a hand in this. You must take ownership of this situation.
You are causing a worldwide sickness. You are POISONING us as sure as Flint is poisoning its citizens. You are poisoning your very own family and us, your brothers and sisters.
This is real. We are sick. Living with your daily reign of terror cancer, and it is terror cancer, is something we are unwilling to do for another minute. I do not want to live my life this way. I am a proud AMERICAN & GLOBAL CITIZEN who’s head is bowed to her knees in because she is sickened every day. Because of you. It is NOT most of America who should be ashamed, it is YOU for propagating this propaganda.
We, the public, need for you to look for your humanity. We, the public, need you to think differently and to do better. Think different. Do better. It’s that easy to be a better person and to do the right thing no matter the cost. The time is now.
Stop poisoning humanity. Go rogue, reverse course, be BRAVE. He is a murderer in the making. Do NOT AID AND ABET A CRIME.
UNPLUG THE MICROPHONES
STOP COVERING HIM
TURN THE LIGHTS OUT
STOP THE CANCER
It is time to RISE and say NO MORE
