Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Advertisers Flee as Tucker Carlson Says Immigrants Make U.S. “Dirtier”

HeadlineDec 19, 2018

In media news, more than a dozen companies have pulled advertisements from the program “Tucker Carlson Tonight” after the Fox News host said that immigrants make the U.S. “poorer and dirtier and more divided.” Carlson made the comment on his prime-time show last Thursday.

Tucker Carlson: “We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided.”

Following an uproar over the comment, companies including Land Rover, IHOP, Pacific Life Insurance, Ancestry.com and Just for Men have pulled ads from Carlson’s show. Fox News has accused left-wing groups of “censoring” Carlson’s program and noted that the advertisers have only shifted their sponsorship to other Fox News programs.
