Fox Deletes Mention of 'White Nationalists' from Article about Anti-Vax Protests

Fox Deletes Mention of 'White Nationalists' from Article about Anti-Vax Protests

The conservative Fox News network has repeatedly promoted white nationalism, especially through its primetime opinion hosts. For one example, Tucker Carlson regularly smears immigrants, claiming they make the country "dirtier," and promotes the white supremacist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, which posits that non-white immigrants are deliberately funneled into the United States to suppress white people.

The network has also promoted conspiracy theories and hysteria regarding the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines, which have proven to be safe and effective at minimizing the spread of a virus that's killed more than 750 thousand Americans.


There have been increasing intersections between white nationalists and anti-vaxxers, especially in recent years.

An article on Fox News' website acknowledged these intersections—until that acknowledgment was edited out of the article.

Earlier this month, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists gathered in New York City to protest vaccine mandates. A featured speaker was Nick Fuentes of the white nationalist Groyper Movement.

As the Daily Beast's Will Sommer pointed out, Fox News' coverage of the incident originally featured the headline:

"Antifa members clash with White nationalists over COVID vaccine mandate outside NYC's Gracie Mansion."

The article also pointed out the Anti-Defamation League's distinction of the Groyper movement as a hate group.

Fuentes accused Fox News of using "ADL talking points" to smear him.

Just hours after Fuentes' criticism, the article's headline was edited to read:

"Antifa members clash with anti-vaccine protesters outside NYC's Gracie Mansion"

The article also removed any mention of the ADL distinction or of Fuentes' ties to the white nationalist movement.

Social media users soon cried foul.





Sadly, many weren't surprised.



Fuentes later bragged about Fox News' "stealth headline edit."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
