“What will it take for Fox News to admit that humans are changing the climate?”
That’s the question posed in a new satirical television ad which aims to use a bit of humor to call out the network’s fueling of climate distortion “to the nation’s physical and economic peril.”
Produced by environmental advocacy organization Friends of the Earth (FoE) and Fenton Communications, the ad shows a supposed Fox News anchor discussing extreme weather events without drawing any links to climate change as water increasingly rises over her head.
An FoE press statement says the network rejected the ad, but that the group still expects it to be viewed many times thank to social media users sharing it with the hashtag #FOXFoolsOnClimate.
Watch the full ad below:
An FoE Facebook posting accompanying the video states: “This is Fox. Don’t be like Fox. Be a friend of the Earth and #actonclimate before it’s too late. “
Explaining the goal of the video, FoE U.S. President Erich Pica said, “We want to call out the nefarious role Fox News plays by keeping its audience confused about the climate threat to the country and world.”
