You Can Fight against Putin’s War

 

…by making sure your money isn’t supporting his propaganda.

Here’s how to do it…

The United States and our allies, joined by hundreds of American businesses, have sanctioned Russia in an attempt to stop the war in Ukraine.

Fox is not one of them.

American stockholders can use their personal financial power to purge Putin’s propagandists from Fox News.

Russian Media Told to Promote Tucker Carlson ‘as Much as Possible,’ Report Says

— The Daily Beast

Tucker is not a journalist, and Fox is not the government, it is his private employer. So Carlson has no 1st Amendment defense for being Putin’s Propagandist.

Fox recently reported record profits so they can afford to divest from Tucker until Putin’s war is over. Fox should choose patriotism over propaganda profits.

Here’s how you can help Fox do the right thing:

  1. Call your broker, investment firm or pension fund and ask if any of your money is invested in Fox.

  2. If you do, demand that they send a letter to Fox calling on Fox to divest from Tucker (see sample letter below)

  3. If your investments or retirement fund is held at a financial institution that is one of the top ten Fox shareholders, demand that they “act in the best long-term interest” of you as their beneficiary and call on Fox to muzzle Carlson. (The latest list: money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/)

  4. If you are not invested in one of these firms you can use social media, email or the phone to send them a message to stand up to Putin and divest from Tucker:

Sample Letter to Investment Firms that own Fox

“Putin’s War against Ukraine and the West puts all of us in position to choose a side. For most that’s an easy choice and one of the reasons hundreds of U.S. companies have pulled out of Russia. Your company might be one of them.

“One American Company - Fox Corporation - is profiting nightly here in America by spreading Putin’s Propaganda. Their biggest Putin Propagandist for months has been Fox New’s Tucker Carlson.

“Russian state TV regularly quotes Tucker Carlson siding with Putin as part of the propaganda they spread to Russians.

“As investors in Fox you should demand that Fox divests from Tucker Carlson now and takes him off the air.

“Disinformation is one of Putin’s favorite weapons of war. With your financial power you can disarm Putin of his favorite disinformation weapon, Tucker Carlson.”
