CABLE PROVIDERS: YANK FOX NEWS NOW!

CABLE PROVIDERS: YANK FOX NEWS NOW!

The Issue

Cable providers can choose which channels to carry on their systems. In light of the seditious insurrection incited by Donald Trump and his enablers, social media companies have finally exercised their power to limit the dissemination of incendiary lies and dangerous political rhetoric. We urge cable providers to do the same.

Everyone in the country knows someone who has been radicalized to the point of irrationality by watching Fox News. Our nation is in serious crisis, and no responsible organization can participate in distributing disinformation and radical incitement. Thus, American cable consumers demand that cable providers YANK FOX NEWS NOW!

Fox News has unapologetically spread disinformation, half-truths, and blatant falsehoods to advance both corporate profits and the radical political agenda of its power-mad foreign owner. Its toxic effect on civic life cannot be overstated. The American people demand that communications companies stop profiting off this demagoguery and political radicalization.

Scholars are already documenting the egregious effect of Fox News on our nation’s stability. Don’t let history document your companies’ complicity in the downfall of democracy. STOP AIRING THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL!
