Fox generally sucks, but gag orders suck more.

          A couple weeks ago we launched Turn Off Fox, our big new effort to stop Fox News from spreading misinformation and stoking division in our communities. Over 125,000 of us have already signed up for the campaign — will you join us? You’ll get a FREE “Turn Off Fox” sticker, and we’ll tell you how to get more involved if you can. Click here:

          It's happened to all of us. You're in a public place and Fox News is on TV. You sit and simmer, or pack up and move on. You can't bear the idea that the lies, distortions and race-baiting that Fox News uses to divide our country are being promoted as mainstream news. 

          Fox is poisonous — and it spreads and is legitimized partly through public TVs. It's why we’ve launched Turn Off Fox — a massive campaign to get Fox turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places. 

          Will you join us in calling on businesses in your community and across the country to stop playing Fox, and declare your own household a "Fox-free zone"? With thousands of our signatures to back them up, ColorOfChange members will visit local businesses that play Fox, explain how divisive and dangerous it is, and ask them to turn Fox off. 

          Please take a moment to add your voice:

          Some people watch Fox at home because it reflects their view of the world; but there are others who see it on TV in public places and assume that it's legitimate news. Fox News is often on in bars, restaurants, airport lounges, stores — appearing to be real news, while spreading lies and fomenting hate and division. 

          The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox's poison (and how it works) to those who don't know. 

          Signing up for the campaign is just the first step. We make it easy for you to tell us about businesses playing Fox. If you're willing to talk with them, we'll provide you with straightforward materials that explain why they shouldn't be a party to what Fox is doing. And if there are businesses you know that want to tell the world they would never play Fox, you can help them declare themselves a "Fox-free zone." 

          As businesses Turn off Fox and stand up as Fox Free, and as we encourage our friends and family to do the same, we'll help make clear, to people across the country, what Fox is about. And we'll reduce their ability to do harm. 

          Click the link below to join us in standing up to Fox, and we'll give you a free Turn Off Fox sticker. And then please ask your friends and family to do the same:
