Dear MoveOn member,

Huge news! We just finished producing our hard-hitting ad that exposes
that, while Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and other Fox News hosts knew
the Big Lie was a total sham, they kept lying on air to their viewers
because conspiracy theories about the 2020 election kept Fox News ratings
high. 

We plan to air our ad right in the belly of the beast—on Fox News
itself—to expose these fraudsters to their own viewers. Already, MoveOn
members like you have donated tens of thousands of dollars to power the
effort.

make a $3 gift today to help get our ad on the air?



Last week, after records in a federal lawsuit against Fox News became
public, we learned that Fox News hosts and executives have long agreed
that the Big Lie was bogus.^1

Tucker said Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell "is lying by the way. I caught
her. It's insane."^2 Yet Carlson still had Powell on his show.

Laura Ingraham, who also had Sidney Powell on her show multiple times and
went so far as to call on the U.S. attorney general to take action to
overturn the election, responded to Carlson: "Sidney is a complete nut. No
one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy."^3

This provides us the perfect opportunity to expose Tucker, Laura, and all
of Fox News as frauds.

Their viewers deserve to know that their favorite Fox News celebrities
lied right to their face. And this ad does exactly that. 

MoveOn supports advertiser boycotts of Fox—indeed, we have a longstanding
policy against placing any ads with them ourselves. But we're making an
exception because this is an exceptional moment for accountability—placing
an ad on Fox is the best way we can expose their lies to their own viewers
and make an outsize impact on their overall business.

fuel our campaign to expose Fox's corrosive lies. This is the best chance
we have had in years to effectively take down Fox News.



Beyond getting the truth out and letting millions of Fox News viewers know
that they can never again trust Fox News, our ad is important for another
reason.

Huge public backlash, from advocates like you and Fox News viewers alike,
will increase the pressure on advertisers to cut ties with Fox News,
depriving them of a critical source of income.

Fox News has been allowed to hold on to their power for far too long. And
they have abused that power to spread lies, hate, racism, and homophobia.
It's time Fox News is held to account.

air. Make a  $3 gift today.



Thanks for all you do.
