Tucker Carlson, apologist in chief for January 6

{NAME}, when the January 6 hearings began earlier this month, 20 million Americans tuned in to watch live, on every major network in America. All except Fox, that is. In fact, Fox went so far to try to stop its viewers from clicking over to the hearings that during the first one, Tucker Carlson went without a commercial break for 60 minutes straight — followed by another commercial-free 60 minutes from Sean Hannity. For the last year and a half, Tucker Carlson and his fellow Fox hosts have done everything in their power to legitimize the insurrection, cast doubt on Biden’s election, and paint the insurrectionists as protesting patriots. Now, they’re bending over backwards to obscure, twist, and blot out the findings of the January 6 committee — and they’re willing to lose two top hours of advertising revenue to do it. {NAME}, far right networks like Fox and OAN know exactly what they’re doing. They’re terrified their viewers will learn the truth about Trump — and they’re doing everything they can to stop that from happening. That’s why we’re pushing every last corporate sponsor to DROP Fox, Tucker Carlson, and OAN — and cut off the funding that fuels their propaganda and threatens our democracy. [Our pressure campaigns are WORKING, {NAME} — but in these critical months before the midterms, we’ve got to ratchet up our efforts.
