New court documents show that Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch admitted under
oath that prominent Fox hosts knowingly spread false information and
narratives about election fraud in 2020 -- and that he had the power to
stop it, and didn’t.

Murdoch also admitted that he colluded with Jared Kushner to provide the
Trump campaign with confidential information about Biden campaign ads and
debate strategy.

Fox knowingly lied to its millions of viewers, and it continues to spread
false conspiracies that have already led to violence. Fox is not a news
network -- it’s a propaganda arm of the far-right.

Fox should be held accountable, under the law and by their peers in actual
news organizations. That’s why we’re calling on the White House
Correspondents’ Association to remove Fox from the press pool.

Fox from the White House press pool and stop giving it cover.

Being part of the press pool means that for many events, every other
outlet is reliant on Fox because they have the only reporter or camera in
the room where news is being made. That should no longer be true.

The new court documents show that Murdoch, some of Fox’s biggest media
stars, and many top executives knew Biden won the election -- but they
continued to lie to millions of viewers anyway.

According to data collected by Media Matters, in the weeks after the 2020
election, Fox questioned the results or pushed conspiracy theories about
it nearly 800 times.

When asked if he could have stopped Fox News from putting on the air Rudy
Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others promoting the Big Lie, Murdoch said
under oath “I could have. But I did not.”

Every day that the White House Correspondents’ Association allows Fox to
participate in the White House press pool, they give legitimacy to a
propaganda outlet -- and are complicit in Fox misinforming millions of
people.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to the White House Correspondents’ Association: Fox
is an outlet that knowingly lies to viewers and spreads misinformation
that has led to violence. An outlet peddling misinformation should not be
recognized as legitimate by the White House Correspondents’ Association.
Fox must be removed from the press pool immediately.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
