Sign the petition re: Fox News

Fox News is functioning as Donald Trump's personal propaganda operation.

Dear MoveOn member,

Fox News is a malevolent and destructive force.

Not only is the network's programming becoming increasingly extreme, deceitful, and racist, but Fox News is also functioning as Donald Trump's personal propaganda operation. We need to call on its major advertisers to drop the network.


Tell advertisers to stop funding the bigotry and racism spread by Fox News. The dangerous propaganda operation is increasingly extreme and deceitful.

As the network helped fuel hysteria over a migrant caravan thousands of miles from the border and Fox host Sean Hannity joined Trump at a campaign rally, a wide range of leading media voices began calling for corrective action. Financial Times U.S. National Editor Edward Luce, conservative columnist Max Boot, Hollywood Reporter Editor-at-Large Kim Masters, producer and director Judd Apatow, and many others have called out Fox News' remaining advertisers for continuing to support the network.1,2

Right now, companies that do business with Fox News are financially supporting bigotry, dangerous lies, and harmful conspiracy theories. Since the network is a propaganda operation, these companies are also financially supporting and enabling Trump's politics. We need to pressure them to drop Fox News.

Thanks!
