We’re almost used to companies and brands going woke and assaulting us with constant Pride propaganda and merchandise–see Bud Light and Target, for starters–but the one company I didn’t have on my bingo card for this stuff is Fox News.
Yet, according to a long Twitter thread posted Thursday by “What is a Woman” filmmaker and Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh, Fox too has gone all in on woke, at least on their employee communication portal.
Warning: graphic content
Walsh claims that when employees log in to the portal, they are encouraged to donate to LGBTQI organizations, attend pride events, explore their own identity, and “expand [their] perspective” by reading books by trans activists. The company even experimented with an AI platform called Eskalera, which monitors “employees’ commitment to the cult of DEI,” according to Walsh.
Pretty shocking stuff. Here Fox tries to direct workers on where to donate their money:
The Trevor Project, Walsh writes, is ostensibly used to help LGBTQ young people but hosts a sexually explicit chat room that connects children as young as 13 years old with adults with similar leanings. The Ali Forney Center, meanwhile, appears to admit ( on Twitter and its website) that it helps homeless young people get hormone replacement therapy. Bet you never thought Fox would jump on that bandwagon, did you?
Here the portal encourages folks to go read books about the wonders of changing your gender:
The bosses in my life have usually spent their time with me discussing actual work, not what gender literature I’m currently perusing.
Walsh next posts the contents of some of the books the portal recommends; I stopped reading at the words “glory hole,” and I’m not going to reprint any of it here. Let’s just say the books are extremely graphic and couldn’t be read out loud at your average school board meeting.
Here’s a lovely book that Fox recommends for your kids:
Lastly, did you ever think you’d see a Fox News logo on a poster like this?
What any of this has to do with the workplace is unclear to me, but what Walsh reports next takes on a more ominous tone, namely, that the artificial intelligence system Eskalera is watching Fox employees to make sure they’re devoted enough to the cause. “One of Eskalera’s key functions is to influence decisions involving personnel,” he writes. Eskalera “pulls in data from various sources, including the email and payroll systems. It generates a ‘peer comfort index’ and a ‘diversity index,’ based in part on how often employees practice ‘micro-affirmations.'”
Many conservatives lost interest in Fox News after they called Arizona for Biden before all West Coast polls had closed in the 2020 election. More have jumped ship since the firing of Tucker Carlson (and the parting of ways with Dan Bongino), and the network’s ratings have fallen off a cliff.
If everything Walsh alleges in this bombshell Twitter thread turns out to be true, Fox may just lose a whole bunch more fans.
They may not care, however, because, as Walsh explains, and as RedState has said before, our new overlords are ESG floggers who use the hard-earned money that makes up pension funds to have companies do their bidding, customers, and shareholders be damned.
