February was Black History Month. As documented by the watchdog group Media Matters, instead of respecting the contributions of Black Americans to the U.S. and the world, Fox News chose to spend nearly every day of Black History Month engaging in acts of anti-black racism and white supremacy.
On the first day of the month, for instance, top-rated host Tucker Carlson told his audience that competing networks that offered Black History Month coverage were "openly advocating" for the genocide of white people. A week later, Media Matters noted, "During 'The Five,' co-host Jesse Watters suggested that the people 'who financed' and 'designed' it deserve credit for American infrastructure built by slaves. Watters also joked that he should receive reparations for being '1% Black.'"
