An "extraordinary" Zoom recording reviewed by The New York Times features Fox CEO Suzanne Scott complaining that her network accurately called Arizona for Joe Biden, saying: "If we hadn’t called Arizona, those three or four days following Election Day, our ratings would have been bigger... the mystery would have been still hanging out there."

The Times also reports that Scott told a colleague that senior Fox employees failed to recognize that their job is first and foremost "to protect the brand" -- and she ultimately fired, with Rupert Murdoch's full support, the Decision Desk head for getting the election-night call right. This paints a damning picture of how ratings and propaganda dictate Fox's coverage.

This report comes on the heels of bombshell court documents showing 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 colluded with Jared Kushner to provide the Trump campaign with confidential information about Biden campaign ads and debate strategy.

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.

Sign the petition to the White House Correspondents’ Association: Ban 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.

But 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.

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 that deliberately misinforms millions of people.

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.
