prime-time propagandists

{NAME}, Fox News’ prime-time propagandists are spreading fear and doubt about the COVID-19 vaccine. Sean Hannity told his audience that he’s “beginning to have doubts” about the vaccine. Laura Ingrahm recently interviewed anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and allowed him to spread misinformation about vaccines. And Tucker Carlson recently ranted about how health experts are “clearly” “lying” about the vaccine, but obviously without offering any evidence or reason to doubt the vaccine’s effectiveness. Here’s the reality: Fox News has downplayed and lied about COVID-19 from the beginning. They disparaged masks and other precautions that would have slowed the spread, and now over 500,000 Americans have died. And now, Fox News has rewarded incompetent right-wing political hacks like Larry Kudlow and Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany with lucrative deals to continue to spew lies on their programs.

So here’s ours: Right-wing media networks like Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax are actively spreading lies and conspiracies to undermine our democracy. Lede Progress is a progressive, digital-first 501c(4) organization dedicated to monitoring, researching, and correcting right-wing misinformation, and empowering the next generation of nonprofit and independent news organizations in American media. Corporate mediate organizations have profited for too long off of misinformation with very little accountability. In the wake of the January 6, 2020 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building, the propaganda and lies spread by these news networks was on clear display by the action of the rioters. Our goal is to hold these networks accountable. Lede progress will hold media organizations engaged in right-wing propaganda accountable by (1) reinforcing truth and facts through data-driven digital campaigns to strip the broadcaster of viewers, (2) financially empowering non-profit and independent journalism, and (3) exposing corporate sponsors that fund right-wing propaganda through their advertising dollars.
