Chuck Schumer wrote to Fox News that executives must 'immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called 'great replacement' theory' on the network's broadcasts,' in a letter published by the NYT.
a 180-page screed that laid out plans to attack Black people and repeatedly cited the so-called "great replacement" theory.For years, these types of beliefs have existed at the fringes of American life," Schumer wrote in the letter, addressed to Fox proprietor Rupert Murdoch and other Fox News executives.
"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." Schumer cited a recent AP poll which found that Fox News viewers are three times more likely to believe in the great replacement theory than viewers of other networks.Asked during a press gaggle Tuesday why the Biden administration had not called out members of the Republican party and media who have amplified replacement theory, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said those people "know who they are and they should be ashamed of themselves.
"But I'm not going to give them ... or their noxious ideas they're pushing, the attention that they desperately want," she added."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." "I implore you to immediately cease all dissemination of false white nationalist, far-right conspiracy theories on your network."
