John,
 
Fox News’ destructive influence over
right-wing politics is undeniable. We saw it in 2020 when they pushed
Donald Trump’s “big lie.” The result was the January 6th riot and a
majority of Republican voters now believing Democrats rigged the 2020
election for Joe Biden.

In their latest gambit to pump up ratings and help Trump, Fox News led the
charge for an impeachment inquiry without evidence of any wrongdoing by
President Biden.
 
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy eventually caved to the pressure. The
first impeachment hearing is now scheduled for September 28th, just two
days before a possible government shutdown that, you guessed it, Fox News
is cheerleading now as well…
 
We’ll keep explaining below, but first: [ [link removed] ]Courier was created to call out
BS from bad actors like Fox News. We deliver the truth to the communities
who need it most, all without paywalls. If you’re sick of Fox News hurting
our democracy, will you chip in $5 and support our mission
today?
 
So here’s the latest on Fox News’ latest grift – the looming government
shutdown:
 
The House needs to pass 12 appropriation bills by the end of September to
avoid a government shutdown. With just 10 days left before the deadline,
Fox News hosts like Sean Hannity are telling far-right extremists in
Congress (and the millions of voters they represent) to “take a stand” and
shut down the government.
 
If they listen, hundreds of thousands could be furloughed, essential
government services could be delayed, and our already fragile economy will
take another severe blow.
 
So here’s the deal: from climate denialism to amplifying Trump’s “big
lie,” Fox News is spreading dangerous misinformation and damaging American
democracy. We can fight back and correct the record, but that takes
serious resources. That’s where you come in.
