[ [link removed] ]Enough is enough! Sign to demand that AT&T, GM, and Subway stop funding Fox’s
lies!

Dear MoveOn member,

Last week, Tucker Carlson, the most-watched cable news host, was fired
from Fox News.^1 It’s reported that Fox executives Rupert and Lachlan
Murdoch claim their choice was a “business decision,” which is short for
Tucker Carlson was seen as a threat to their future profits.^2

As a corporation, Fox News is driven by its profits, and that’s what we
are coming for. With Fox's reputation on the line, now is an unmatched
opportunity to break its stranglehold on our politics by fundamentally
challenging Fox News' whole business model to really damage its bottom
line. 

While Carlson’s ouster is good news, it doesn’t change the fact that Fox
News is rotten to the core. [ [link removed] ]Will you challenge Fox's destructive power
by demanding corporate advertisers boycott Fox News?

Every dollar spent on advertising to Fox "News" viewers funds the
dangerous rhetoric and conspiracies that they blast on air. It’s time for
corporations to stop funding Fox News' dangerous lies.

AT&T, General Motors, and Subway are among the dwindling list of companies
who are still running major advertising campaigns on Fox News. In fact,
AT&T recently resumed advertising on Fox News, even while the company's
dirty laundry was being aired in public. ^3 In just a couple of weeks,
these corporate advertisers will likely be deciding how much money they
want to spend advertising their products on Fox News for the next
year.^4 AT&T, General Motors, and Subway have the choice: to either stop
future advertising deals with Fox News or to continue funding the hate and
lies that undermine our democracy.

By settling in their record case with Dominion, Fox managed to avoid
admitting wrongdoing— and if they don't publicly acknowledge that they
promote lies about the election, we can bet they'll just keep doing it and
spreading other dangerous disinformation. They need to know that
advertisers won't stand for that and Fox will pay a price.

[ [link removed] ]Demand that AT&T, General Motors, and Subway stop advertising on Fox
"News." They are enabling Fox's lies and damaging our nation through their
support of this right-wing propaganda network!

MoveOn members have a long history of confronting Fox's lies and
pernicious partisan impact—from forcing advertisers to drop Bill O'Reilly
to getting the Democratic Party to stop hosting presidential primary
debates on this right-wing network. We'll continue this work— calling out
the network's white-supremacism-fueled appeal—and part of it is
challenging the very funding model that allows Fox to prop up this
disinformation.

[ [link removed] ]This starts with disrupting their profits by pushing corporations to
stop funding Fox through new advertising deals. Sign and share the
petition to demand accountability now!

Thanks for all you do.
