The Lincoln Project lashed out at Comcast after the company refused to air its video ad criticizing Fox News for its coverage on the coronavirus pandemic.
The anti-Trump group accused Comcast of being financially motivated in its decision.
“The Lincoln Project was informed by Comcast that they would refuse to run the commercial because it did not meet their guidelines,” the group’s statement said Thursday.
“Our criticism of Fox News falls under Comcast’s description of a business that is in the public forum or the issue is one of public concern,” the statement added.
“Comcast has made one thing clear: Their bottom line comes before anything else; it comes before democracy; and in this case, it comes before the health and safety of the American people,” the group concluded.
The Hill reported that Comcast did not immediately respond to a request for comment. What’s in the ad?
The ad accuses Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, of killing Americans by allowing “anti-vax hysteria” to be promulgated on the cable news outlet.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
