Fox News anchor released a trailer on his upcoming series on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. However, the Anti-Defamation League is doing its best to urge the Fox Corporation not to air the series.
The ADL sent a letter addressed to Fox Corp. executive chairman and CEO Lachlan Murdoch. The organization's CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called the series "an abject, indisputable lie and blatant attempt to rewrite history."
Furthermore, the letter encouraged Murdoch not to air the program on the Fox Nation streaming platform.
"As an organization committed to fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate, we remain deeply concerned that the false narrative and wild conspiracy theories presented by Carlson will sow further division and has the potential to animate violence," the letter said.
"As an organization that monitors hate groups, our team at ADL has seen that Carlson's embrace and amplification of white supremacist talking points galvanizes extremists and mobilizes their movements."
Greenblatt concluded the letter pleading to the Fox Corp. to scrap the series.
"I know that you and your family have had a long history with ADL," the letter said. "Drawing upon that relationship, I strongly urge you to reconsider airing this program. It has the potential to fuel misdirected anger and unrest, let alone harm toward our public officials and elected leaders precisely at the time when our nation needs to start to heal."
