Tell cable providers: Don’t raise our bills to fund Fox News’ lies
We cannot trust Fox News to tell the truth.
Allowing Fox News to continue profiting off disinformation and conspiracy theories – when we ALREADY know that they’ve lied to viewers about our elections – is a major mistake, and dangerous for our democracy.
We’re calling on cable providers to say no to the Fox Fee. We will not pay more in our cable bills to subsidize Fox News’ lies.

We should be able to rely on our news organizations to report on the truth – not lie about our democracy for financial and political gain.
Here’s the truth that Fox News hosts don’t want you to know: Our elections are secure and accurate – and the real threat to our democracy is voter suppression and conspiracy theories.
Allowing Fox News to continue profiting off disinformation and conspiracy theories – when we ALREADY know that they’ve lied to viewers about our elections – is a major mistake. Their fealty to Trump Republicans at the expense of journalistic integrity has already cost our democracy too much – and they can’t be rewarded with even more opportunities to lie.
And right now, you might funding these lies without even knowing it! You could be paying Fox News over $2 a month through your monthly cable bill – even if you don’t watch the channel.
It’s called the “Fox Fee” – where cable customers pay higher bills because Fox charges providers up to three times the market rate for access to their channel. Fox executives are negotiating their contracts with major cable providers like Xfinity/Comcast, Spectrum/Charter, and Cox Communications – trying to increase their rates even more.
This is our chance to get ahead of Fox and let these companies know that we won’t stand for increased bills to subsidize Fox’s lies, hate, and deceit. It’s time for us to demand #NoFoxFee!
