A coalition of activist groups is protesting in front of Fox News Headquarters in New York City today to bring attention to the network’s recent controversies—as the cable channel tries to woo companies in the wake of a number of high profile advertising defections. 

“The message to companies and their media buyers is clear,” said Angelo Carusone, the president of watchdog group Media Matters for America, one of the organizers of the action, in a statement. “No matter what time of day you advertise on Fox News, you support the network’s extremism and bigotry.”

Fox will host advertisers Wednesday morning in an attempt to deflect recent defections from companies wary of comments by the network’s hosts and the increasingly bad reputation of the channel. Fox “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host Tucker Carlson is currently weathering a storm over his appearances on “The Bubba the Love Sponge Show” radio show, where Carlson made misogynistic, homophobic, and racist comments and appeared to excuse child rape. 

 Jeanine Pirro, whose show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” is reportedly a favorite of President Donald Trump, provoked outrage days earlier with a segment on her show in which she implied that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was incapable of loyalty to the Constitution because Omar, one of the first two Muslim women ever elected to Congress,  wears a hijab.

That’s made companies wary of airing commercials on the channel. In a report on the meeting, Variety reporter Brian Steinberg noted that the motivation for keeping existing advertisers and enticing more of them is heightened when many Fox company properties are about to be sold to the Disney Company.
