Dear John,

Fox News just refused to air an ad that calls out Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and other Fox News anchors for spreading the Big Lie about the 2020 election—even when they admitted behind closed doors that they knew it was all a farce.¹

This rejection shows that Fox News is afraid of its viewers knowing the truth. That’s why we need you to watch the ad holding Fox News accountable and share the petition calling on cable providers to drop Fox or make it optional, so that customers are no longer funding this network of disinformation and deceit.

People deserve to know that Fox News TV personalities directly lied, and Fox News simply cannot be trusted.

Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity all used their primetime TV shows to convince their millions of viewers that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

But court documents reveal that, behind the scenes, Carlson said that Sidney Powell, Trump's attorney, "is lying by the way. I caught her. It's insane."²

Ingraham agreed, noting, "Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her."³

Sean Hannity went further, calling Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and other election deniers "f**king lunatics."⁴

Yet, on air, they praised Powell and Giuliani and went along with the Big Lie because it fueled their ratings.

That is shameful.

Will you keep Fox News in check by signing and sharing the petition? You can do your part to spread awareness of the network’s intolerable behavior of knowingly repeating lies to deceive viewers and the public.

Thanks for all you do.
