Fight Misinformation On Local News

Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes' 21st Century Fox owns and operates 28 stations in major media markets around the country. These stations might seem independent, but Fox uses them to push misinformation to viewers like you.

Watch this short video to see how Fox News impacts local stations:




By operating local stations, Fox News executives can transmit key right-wing talking points to large numbers of people who don't watch cable news. And with Fox-owned stations now reaching 37% of U.S. television audiences, that's a huge opportunity for the conservative media.

Unfortunately for Murdoch and Ailes, we know their tactics, and we're not going to let them slowly turn their stations into miniature versions of Fox News.


Just a heads-up, and more at: MediaMatters, I'm sure most of you are aware of their tactics.
