Dear John,

The $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News has uncovered even more damning evidence that Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham knowingly lied to their viewers about false claims of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

But there’s one key group of people who haven’t heard the revelations about Fox News: Fox News viewers themselves.

There’s been a near-total blackout of the story on Fox News, and Fox host Howard Kurtz has confirmed that Fox higher-ups have issued orders to ignore the story. Fox has even rejected paid ads that would have alerted viewers about the lawsuit. Other Rupert Murdoch-owned properties, like the New York Post, are also keeping their readers in the dark.

But Fox viewers need to know the truth, and Inequality Media is one of the few organizations with the ability to reach millions of people with videos and other content, across the partisan divide. We’ve spent years building a massive following across social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, and we know from data analytics that our audience includes an unusual number of conservatives.

We’re pushing out shareable videos, graphics, and other content alerting Fox viewers and others about the lies revealed by the Fox defamation lawsuit. And if we can help convince even a small percentage of Fox’s audience to turn it off, that could be hugely consequential.

Will you make a donation to Inequality Media to help spread the truth and help finally dethrone Fox News?

Laura Ingraham called Trump lawyer and leading election denier Sidney Powell “a complete nut,” and still had her on her show. Tucker Carlson said, “Sidney Powell is lying… It’s insane” and that he hates Donald Trump “passionately.” Carlson even demanded that a Fox reporter be fired for fact-checking a false voter fraud claim, saying, “It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.”

But it wasn’t just the hosts who knew Fox was lying. The cynicism and deceit at Fox News went all the way to the top.

Fox mogul Rupert Murdoch said that Trump was going “increasingly mad” and described Trump’s claims of election fraud promoted on his own network as a “myth.” Jay Wallace, the president of Fox News, said of Fox Business News host Lou Dobbs that “the North Koreans do a more nuanced show.” David Clark, another senior Fox executive, admitted under oath that the Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson shows are “not credible source[s] of news.”

These revelations are incredibly damaging, and that’s why Fox is working so hard to keep their viewers in the dark, banning their reporters from covering the lawsuit and even rejecting paid ads about the lawsuit.

But we can help break through the Fox News bubble by reaching people directly via social media. We’re using proven-effective messages to educate Fox viewers and others across the media spectrum about the network’s lies.

As a people-powered grassroots organization, we rely on donations from folks like you. Will you donate to help us continue and expand our reach and spread the truth about Fox News?

With deep gratitude and solidarity,
