Fox News embraces white nationalism and these advertisers embrace Fox News

[douglas9]

For months, Tucker Carlson has been promoting the racist "great replacement" conspiracy theory. The concept, which is embraced by white nationalists and neo-Nazis, is that there is a secret plot to "replace" whites with non-white immigrants. It has been cited by mass murderers — in El Paso, New Zealand, Pittsburgh, and elsewhere — to justify violence. Its roots can be traced to a French novel, Le Camp des Saints, the urtext of modern white supremacist discourse.

Carlson has dabbled in white nationalist rhetoric for years. But he explicitly adopted the "great replacement" conspiracy in an April 8, 2021 broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight, a show which attracts about 3 million viewers to Fox News each weeknight.

1. Totally playing on the most base impulses of nearly all animals

This type of propaganda is really the most deplorable.

Going back 100's of Millions of years of evolution, aside from the need to procreate and eat and drink ... the most basic instinct every living critter has is 'don't let OTHERS ... steal your resources, f*** your females, take over your territory', etc.

It's so pathetically easy to trigger a huge segment of homo sapiens to react to stimuli about being 'replaced by OTHERS'.

It's totally playing on 'instinct' and it's depressingly effective.

Even when based on fantasy.

Hitler was a master of it, let me just point out.

2. Here are the advertisers

Fox News' biggest advertisers
From the article
The top advertiser on Fox News this year, besides Fox News' own ads and a supplement manufacturer that was admonished by the FDA for allegedly making false claims, is Liberty Mutual Insurance.

The company is advertising extensively on Fox News — a network dominated by Tucker Carlson — while claiming on its corporate website to be a champion of diversity:

At Liberty Mutual, diversity is about all of us. We believe that recognizing, appreciating and applying the unique insights, perspectives and backgrounds of each person cultivates an atmosphere of trust and respect. It’s also key to our success in engaging with all people and possibilities.

Another top-10 advertiser on Fox News this year is the job site Indeed. The company has pledged to "use our global platform to stand against racism."

Indeed's chief economist, Jed Kolko, wrote a column for the New York Times stressing that international migration is key to economic growth. Yet its ad dollars are supporting a network that promoting the idea that immigration is part of a conspiracy to replace white people.

Other top advertisers on Fox News this year include USAA, Nutrisystem, Progressive Insurance, Applebees, and ADT. '
