Friend,
While several races are still being decided, Fox “News” is publishing
story after story alluding to voter fraud.
In an entire page devoted to “voter fraud concerns,” Fox has stories
repeating claims that have already proven to be baseless.(1,2) And these
claims are being picked up by MAGA candidates looking to overturn
legitimate elections, including Kari Lake, whose race still has votes
being counted.(3)
Fox “News” is failing our democracy and its journalistic responsibility by
spreading election disinformation, and it must be shut down. We are asking
the largest advertisers for Fox “News” -- including GlaxoSmithKline, USAA,
GMC, and Procter & Gamble -- to pull their advertising dollars from the
network as long as it continues to air disinformation. Will you join our
call?

Election disinformation isn’t the only false narrative being spread by Fox
“News."
In the hours after the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband
Paul, Fox “News” shared conspiracy theories regarding the causes behind
the attack. And the attacker himself had posted numerous conspiracy
theories online -- about transphobia, COVID-19, and the economy -- that he
heard on Fox.(4)
Fox “News” disinformation is directly related to COVID-19 anti-vaxxing,
violent attacks against politicians, and the January 6
insurrection.(5,6,7)
It’s time that advertisers take responsibility for supporting this
dangerous disinformation.
