Friend,

Yesterday, Fox & Friends welcomed owners of a New Jersey gym, who promoted their legal battles with the state government over COVID-19 restrictions and peddled a dangerous conspiracy theory — claiming that the local government’s COVID-19 response is an attempt to “mandate a peak and spike in COVID cases.”[1]
And on Wednesday evening, Tucker Carlson used his Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight to spout racist lies about Kamala Harris — alleging that she wants “only people of a certain color [to] get the [COVID-19] vaccine.”[2]
Fox News consistently abuses the airwaves — which is particularly unacceptable in the midst of a global pandemic, when information about coronavirus could be the difference between life and death.
Tell Fox News advertisers to stop propping up a network that continually peddles lies about COVID-19 and people of color.

Some may try to dismiss Fox News as a fringe network, but let’s be clear: Fox’s ratings are consistently high and its audience is only growing.[3] Fox recently announced that since the pandemic hit, it’s seen a surge in younger viewers — helping it lure new advertisers like Google, Dell, TalkSpace and Samsung.
Any company whose advertising dollars support the network should know that they are enabling the spread of hatred and disinformation. It's past time to hold Fox News accountable. Tell advertisers like Google, Dell, TalkSpace and Samsung to stop funding Fox’s hate and disinformation.

P.S. Fox’s coronavirus conspiracy theories and racist lies have harmful real-life consequences. Urge advertisers to stand up to hate and boycott Fox News.
