John,
An Arizona man has died and his wife is in critical care after they
ingested a dangerous chemical meant for fish.
Why? Because Donald Trump and his cheerleaders like Fox News’ Laura
Ingraham have spent hours on air promoting dangerous, unproven theories
about the chemical's ability to fight coronavirus. Last week Ingraham was
forced by Twitter to delete tweets about the supposed ‘cure’ for breaching
the platform's fake news rules.
As health workers across the world battle to get the facts out about
staying safe during coronavirus, Fox News is spreading dangerous
speculation and outright lies.
These lies only get to air because advertisers like Expedia sponsor the
shows of Fox's top presenters.

We’re in uncharted territory here, John.
Millions of people are stuck at home. Millions of us are cut off from our
friends and family. But in our living rooms 24 hour cable news rolls on.
The thing is: what channel you’re tuned to can drastically affect how
seriously you’re taking this crisis. According to polling conducted last
week, of the millions of Americans who are “unconcerned” about
coronavirus, a staggering 59% nominate Fox News as their primary news
source.
At a time of unprecedented crisis like this the media has a vital
responsibility to calmly report the facts. But Fox has never been
concerned with facts. And it’s literally costing lives.
There are only two things that really matter at Fox: Rupert Murdoch’s
political agenda and advertiser dollars.
Which is where you step in John. To get this dangerous
misinformation campaign shut down we need Fox’s top advertisers to pull
their ad budgets.
If millions of us join together we can get Expedia to flee the network and
help shut down this fake news racket now.
