| Friend,
Here we are in the midst of another COVID-19 surge — this time primarily among people who’ve been convinced by a steady flood of pandemic and vaccine disinformation.
It has been jaw-dropping to see some Fox News personalities suddenly turn around and start promoting the vaccine after they saw the virus’ growing impact on the Republican voter base. Tucker Carlson, on the other hand, continues to lie no matter how many people he hurts.
And of course, this turnaround from a few news personalities hardly signals a change in Fox’s hate-and-lies-for-profit business model as day after day the network’s anchors and commentators spew racist remarks and lies about election results, the Jan. 6 insurrection and more.
Join us by telling T-Mobile and other Fox News advertisers: Stop propping up Fox News’ deadly lies and disinformation. Act Now Last summer, T-Mobile pulled its ads from Tucker Carlson Tonight in a (seemingly sincere) protest over his latest round of racist remarks. But in reality, the company was doing little more than posturing — all it actually did was shift its ad spending to other Fox News programs.
Time and time again, we have learned to view corporate do-gooders with suspicion. Too often, a good act turns out to be little more than a smokescreen to cover bad intentions. Or in the case of T-Mobile, an effort to generate goodwill without actually representing a change in its practices — or risking a cent of its bottom line.
It seems clear that not even the massive loss of life from COVID-19 or an actual insurrection on the U.S Capitol is enough to raise the conscience of T-Mobile executives.
We can’t let corporations like T-Mobile off the hook — or let dangerous networks like Fox News continue pushing lies and hate. Please join us today and demand that T-Mobile stop bankrolling Fox News’ hateful agenda.
Thank you for everything you do for our movement.

P.S. Last year, T-Mobile and a few other companies decided to pull their advertising dollars from Tucker Carlson Tonight over Carlson’s racist comments about Black Lives Matter protests. But in reality, all T-Mobile did was shift its ad spending to other Fox News programs and continue to prop up the network’s agenda of racism and hate. Tell T-Mobile today: If you really care about Black lives, pull your ad dollars from all Fox News programs. |
