A nonprofit aiming to defund disinformation online that has taken money out of the pockets of several prominent far-right websites is now taking on its most formidable target yet: Fox News.

The group, Check My Ads, is hoping the success it has had in stripping advertising dollars from right-wing provocateurs including Steve Bannon, Glenn Beck and Dan Bongino will give it momentum as it attempts to confront a powerful media empire.

On Thursday, the outfit announced a new campaign directed at Fox's website and its popular YouTube channel calling on the public to pressure online ad exchanges to stop doing business with Fox. It comes just as the House committee investigating the Capitol riots kicks off a series of hearings focused on violence that unfolded on Jan. 6.

3. FNC gets a lot of its revenue

through cable and streaming contracts. They could probably survive fairly well on those contracts alone. Carlson already is suffering from a lack of sponsors, but is otherwise thriving. It’s nearly impossible to find a streaming service that does NOT carry FNC.
