Fox News is reportedly pushing aggressively to become a “woke” network, leaked internal documents have revealed.
The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan obtained the leaked Fox News docs that may help explain the recent shift at the network.
Olohan wrote on social media: “I obtained Fox’s policies on gender transition for employees.
“Fox employees are allowed to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender, and must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns.”
Olohan said a “former Fox News employee” told her that “Fox News devotes hours of programming to attacking ‘woke companies,’ but ironically Fox is as woke as the rest of them.”
Fox viewers would be “astonished to find out what the company is like,” the employee reportedly asserted.
“When Dylan Mulvaney was first gaining prominence, Tucker Carlson Tonight producers had to fight Fox to refer to Mulvany with male pronouns in the show’s chyrons, I’m told,” she added.
Olohan said she spoke to other unhappy employees.
“They want you to think it’s this place that supports traditionally conservative values,” a former producer for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” said.
“But in reality, they’re pushing this nonsense behind the scenes.”
According to her report at The Daily Signal:
“A source who still works at Fox News told The Daily Signal that after Carlson’s show was canceled in April, producers for the new 8 p.m. ‘Fox News Tonight’ program were told not to bash Mulvaney.
“That directive came from high-level executives, the source said.
“Under the category ‘Gender Transition,’ Fox’s employee handbook promises that the company is dedicated to ‘expanding and strengthening’ efforts to ‘sustain a more inclusive work environment.’
“The Fox employee handbook is posted on Workday, where employees can see company guidelines or policies, a former employee told The Daily Signal.
“’Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly,’ the policy says.”
Geez Louise, Fox is going liberal on us?
DONE WENT........................
Roger Ailes publicly announced that fact way back in 2011, of course.
Going?
I haven’t forgotten how giddy they were at Fox in 2008 when Obama was installed illegally.
No, it isn’t going Lib. It just pulled down the mask. It has always been Bushie Neocon.
I want to throw up .
That ship sailed years ago, Dilbert.
It's not Rupert making these decisions anymore, it's his three infighting offspring Lachlan, James, and Elisabeth who are vying to take over the Newscorp empire, and two of the three are woke liberals.
Foreigners
This is Fox Media’s policy:
“ ’Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly.”
Damned animals. //sarc
I couldn’t care less what someone chooses to do to their body. I will call people by whatever name they tell me. (I have a brother whose name is a common women’s name these days. No one ever gave him grief.)
And expletive should be able to without getting shit from people they work with.
That’s not woke…it’s just treating others as you wish to be treated. It an office, not your kitchen. Grow up.
Some of you folks are deep up their asses, They probably think you like them.
That’s the same year they got rid of E.D. Hill for accurately describing Barack and Michelle’s “terrorist fist jab”.
Face it, Fox, AS WE KNEW IT, IS dead.................
Yes it is woke.
It is not as you describe, in any way, shape or form. It is deliberately targeting conservatives.
Opus?
Murdoch’s children want to fit in with the cool kids.
Fox News shotgunned a case of the queer beer with jiz foam topping.
I haven’t watched Fox in 20 years, but what’s the play on this? Aren’t there other “woke” channels? Don’t woke people reflexively hate Fox News. (Imagine if MSNBC decided to be “conservative?” How quickly would Freepers respond to that?
In a sane capitalist system, companies that are the most successful are copied by the less successful competitors. In the current system the successful companies copy the less successful.

If Elon decided to buy MSNBC, I’d wait until the dust settles before watching any meaningful length of time.
It takes time for contracts to expire, and paying one off ahead of time is wasteful..................
Well, with so many conservatives leaving, they have to find an audience somewhere.
