Schumer calls on Murdochs, Fox to curb broadcasting of racist theory

“For years, these types of beliefs have existed at the fringes of American life,” Schumer wrote in the letter, which his office shared with reporters. “However, this pernicious theory, which has no basis in fact, has been injected into the mainstream thanks in large part to a dangerous level of amplification by your network and its anchors.”

found that Carlson has referenced variations of the “replacement” idea in more than 400 episodes since 2016.“I urge you to take into consideration the very real impacts of the dangerous rhetoric being broadcast on your network on a nightly basis,” Schumer wrote. A Fox News spokeswoman responded Tuesday by noting comments Carlson made on his nightly show Monday decrying the Buffalo shooter as immoral and racist and calling him a “mental patient.” Carlson also said the nation should work toward a “colorblind meritocracy.”

Fox brass have bristled in recent years over the growing criticism of Carlson’s rhetoric. When Anti-Defamation League chief executive Jonathan A. Greenblatt wrote to the network last year calling for Carlson to be fired because of what he called a “full-on embrace of the white supremacist replacement theory” and “open-ended endorsement of white supremacist ideology,” Lachlan Murdoch insisted that Carlson has “decried and rejected replacement theory.

Time for all FOX Sports personalities to protest Murdoch, Carlson and his racist crew. Many of these sports figures were once our heroes and now not a whimper out of them in the face of their network promoting blatant racism. Come on somebody!

Whites are becoming a minority & being displaced by waves of immigrants just like the Indians were before them. Why is this a controversy when it is obviously true?

Lock him (Tucker) up!
