| Friend,
Fox News is racist.
Fox News’ goal is to sell your friends, neighbors and older relatives a fantasy where immigrants of color, religious minorities and LGBTQ+ people are the enemy. The company is doing this to fuel hate — and to shift attention away from the big-money corporations and politicians that exploit us all.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham said, “The price we have to pay for multiculturalism is the risk that you're walking on the sidewalk … and someone will put a knife to your throat and slit it with the attempt, perhaps, to behead you.”
Tucker Carlson said, “Foreigners come to our country and kill our people,” despite multiple studies showing that criminal conviction and arrest rates for immigrants are well below those of native-born people in the United States.
The list of hateful statements is extremely long — and, extremely dangerous.
Attempted pipe bomber Cesar Sayoc reportedly believed that “‘prominent Democrats were actively working to hurt him, other Trump supporters, and the country,’ an idea that was reinforced by what he heard on Fox News and from the president himself.”1 And the El Paso shooter quoted Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric before killing 29 people in an anti-Latinx rampage — rhetoric that continues to be repeatedly used by Fox News.

Free Press is working with our allies at Media Matters for America to inform advertisers and viewers that Fox News is an insidious influence. The momentum is on our side — advertisers are already dropping some of the network’s most toxic programs.
Meanwhile, hard-working local and independent journalists across the country are reporting news and information that reflect the needs and diversity of our communities. They deserve our support — not the brazen political operators masquerading as news professionals on Fox News, a.k.a. Trump TV.
So this holiday season, we’ll be asking you to talk to family members and friends about the dangers of Fox News. Our goal is to spark a nationwide #DetoxFox, a push to turn off the hate in living rooms, waiting rooms and beyond.
