Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said Thursday that Democrats had “a right” and “an obligation” to tell Fox News what to do during a CNN appearance.
Schumer, the Senate majority leader, and Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the House minority leader, sent Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch and other executives at the network a letter Wednesday, demanding they direct Fox News hosts, including Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson, to issue on-air apologies for content surrounding the 2020 presidential election.
“We need him to take the next step and the next step is to tell the Carlsons, the Ingrahams and all these other commentators to stop spreading the big lie, to admit what they said was wrong, help restore some of the faith that we have lost,” Schumer told CNN’s John Berman, who guest-hosted “The Lead.”
WATCH:
Fox News has dominated CNN, MSNBC and NewsNation in the ratings, posting more viewers across the day than the other three cable news networks combined from 5 p.m. to midnight Wednesday, Mediate reported. CNN saw a significant drop in its ratings over the first 24 days of February, with some shows dropping about 40% of their audiences in the 25-to-54 age range, according to Fox News.

“This is not simply telling them what to do. This is telling them, showing them that they have hurt our democracy probably when no other actor with the exception of Donald Trump who used them has done, and so when it’s that vital, I think that we not only have a right to tell Rupert Murdoch and Fox what to do, but an obligation,” Schumer also said during the appearance.
WATCH:
Democratic representatives sitting on the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote DirecTV and other providers in February 2021 urging the company to drop Newsmax, Fox News and One America News Network (OAN). DirecTV dropped OAN in April 2022 “following a routine internal review,” and stopped carrying Newsmax in January.
Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
