Reasons to drop Fox >>> Climate Science Misinformation
Fox News deliberately propagates misinformation about climate science, even though its parent company actively pursues carbon neutrality.
Although News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch has declared that climate change poses "clear, catastrophic threats," Fox's Washington Managing Editor directed his staff to deny that the the earth is warming at all, and the network's personalities blatantly deny scientific evidence that substantiates climate change, while simultaneously spreading misinformation.
Many companies are rightfully proud of and promote their green initiatives. So, given the steady stream of climate change misinformation coming out of Fox News, why would any advertiser that is committed to addressing the reality of climate change undermine their own green initiatives by sponsoring Fox News?
By sponsoring Fox News, advertisers are financially supporting and associating their brands with a climate change misinformation campaign:
