John,
Fox News just helped cause a coup attempt — we can’t let it go unpunished.
In the two weeks after the presidential election, Fox cast doubt or pushed
conspiracy theories about the election nearly 800 times. It told viewers
the election was invalid, and helped stoke the violence.
But while big business had dropped donations to Republican members of
Congress who voted to invalidate the election, they continue to advertise
on Fox, happy to partner with and profit from deadly disinformation and
rebellion.
This cannot be allowed to continue. Click to call on companies like
Procter & Gamble, GM, and Nestle to drop Fox, now:
[ [link removed] ]Advertisers: cut ties with Fox News
We’ve known for years that Fox News is like poison, shilling conspiracy
theories and lies on subjects from Covid to climate. Now they’ve pushed
their right-wing viewership toward open insurrection and the rejection of
a democratic election.
Any company that keeps advertising with them is profiting from and
complicit with their misinformation, white supremacy, and extremist
fear-mongering.
In the last 3 years, many companies have cut advertising ties with
prime-time hosts like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Tucker Carlson.
It’s now clear they must cut all ties with Fox News — not just one host at
at time.
We need to punish those who nearly brought a coup to the United States,
not reward them with ad dollars.

This isn’t exaggeration. In the days after the election, Fox News
personalities told the audience “this is a war, this is a battle for the
control of our government”, that “there’s no doubt this [election] was
stolen”, and that “we used to storm the castle over abuses of power like
this”.
Fox News’ advertisers are flying under the radar for now, but fortunately
our community is at its best holding corporations to account for their
actions. Let’s stop the flow of ad money to Fox News, and stop propping up
this propaganda.
