I can no longer in good conscience appear on Fox News as one of its regular liberal talking heads, especially after the recent acts of right-wing violence.

This is not a decision I’ve come to lightly. For a long time, I believed it was important for Fox’s audience to hear somebody willing to push back against the insanity regularly pushed on the network. But now I believe the only thing to do is walk away and call out the network for what it is: a cancerous propaganda organ doing lasting damage to our country.

My change in thinking began after witnessing how the network handled my on-air interaction with former Trump campaign manager Cory Lewandowski. He infamously mocked the plight of a ten-year-old girl with Down Syndrome forcibly separated from her mother at the border. Our exchange went viral immediately and played on a loop on CNN, MSNBC, late night talk shows and social media feeds across the country. But on Fox News there was a virtual blackout of the incident except for a very sympathetic segment the next day where Lewandowski was given the opportunity to clarify himself.
