UPDATE: The DC-insider online newsletter PUCK reports:

"The Progressive Change Campaign Committee currently has a petition out with 16,000 signatures calling on the White House Correspondents’ Association to remove Fox from the White House press pool...At least two networks, ABC and CBS, are having internal conversations about whether they should still be pooling their footage with Fox News."

The report continues, "Executives at other networks are starting to question whether they should be sharing and providing resources with a 'propaganda organization,' as one rival executive put it."

Our activism is working! Can you help increase the pressure to kick Fox out of the White House press pool? After you sign the petition, you can contact the WHCA directly.

Join thousands who have signed our 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. That should no longer be true.

Rupert Murdoch admitted under oath that prominent Fox hosts knowingly spread false information and narratives about election fraud in 2020. 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 viewers and 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.

An avalanche of court documents now show that Rupert 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. In fact, they were frustrated they hadn't lied more.

When Murdoch was asked if he could have stopped Fox News from putting on the air Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others promoting Trump's 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 right-wing propaganda outlet -- and are complicit in Fox continuing to misinform 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.
