Fox News host Harris Faulkner drew condemnation from some fans of the network on Wednesday when she said the company will be forced to incorporate the left’s diversity, equity and inclusion agenda into its business model.
The network is already on thin ice with many current viewers and lost almost half its audience after executives made the decision to oust host Tucker Carlson in April.
More viewers vowed to leave for good after Faulkner said on “Outnumbered” that Fox News might no longer have a choice but to let identity politics guide its business practices.
As she discussed the current backlash against Chick-fil-A, Faulkner laid no blame on the company — a longtime favorite of Christians and conservatives — for its public commitment to DEI.
The chain has had a vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion — Erick McReynolds — for nearly two years.
But his position and the company’s stance on hiring based on race, gender and sexuality have gotten attention now as Americans have watched formerly great corporations take “wokeness” way too far.
Per Faulkner, Chick-fil-A had no choice but to paint itself as a champion of DEI policies. She also said Fox News might be next.
“Many states are mandating it now,” she told viewers of DEI policies. “I mean, here at Fox — other corporations — there will be things they’re gonna have to change because the state of New York requires it.”
Her comments begin about 2:00 in the video below:

I ditched Fox years ago as it was CNN lite already. They are ALL beholden and held by the ‘nads.
The states are “demanding” it.
Totalitarianism is growing at a phenomenal rate.
She’s a reasonably intelligent lady. I wonder if she is doing this to draw attention that would STOP this from continuing. But the way things are going at Fox, I’m betting they reposition their head in the guillotine.
Exactly. Not tuned them in since the day they let Tucker go. This is even more reason to avoid them. Dark times for the USA.
Yep, controlled opposition the theater of public propaganda. I haven’t watched mainstream news since 2016 when it became clear that they were just apparatchiks for the democrats.
75% of the media’s revenues come from drug companies. Let the cancer that the news media has become, take the patient.
Move your show to NJ, it will be less of a commute.
something’s afoot - now gone:Bongino Carlson Ingle Hilton Kennedy to highlight. and list keeps expanding (Hilton info just came out).
Kennedy is out? She was on yesterday at noon on “Outnumbered”.
Then move out of New York. Should be easy enough, as most of the senior executives in these companies probably established Florida or North Carolina as their states of residency in the last couple of years anyway.
I took notice when Fox’s language started using gender pronouns after people’s names that they were reporting on, as the other networks were doing. Being raised by a reading specialist, I’m grammar police continuously in my head and it was driving me crazy. It confirmed what I suspected when the trans agenda exploded. I’m surprised more people didn’t notice. Do they even still teach grammar? LOL.
The states are demanding it?
In time, the federal government will be demanding it.
Whatever happened to ‘the people are demanding it’?
Government “by the people, of the people, and for the people”, no longer counts?
The peopled didn’t demand what CNN was doing, and the people left. The people didn’t demand what MSNBC was doing, and the people left. If FOX does what the people are not demanding, the people will leave.
I quit FOX. Just before that day I quit Harris after she shut up Newt Gingrich when he tried to bring up the evil George Soros was doing to America.
Who rules over you? The ones you aren’t allowed to criticize.
I watched. She wasn’t promoting, she was simply describing reality as vile as it is.
Harris grew up in a military family and anyone who watches her in the afternoon (Out Numbered and The Faulkner Focus) knows she is a 100% patriot, Christian, and conservative.
But living in the toilet of the New York metro area, she has to call it as it is.
Big Difference.
I can’t stand watching her. She’s so much smarter than you and I.
she lost her nightly show on FoxBiz but will still pop up as a personality
She was a big Biden fan when he first “won.”
Either the ratings pull or her eyes changed things.
“...there will be things they’re gonna have to change because the state of New York requires it”
False. They could sue the state of New York and challenge the unconstitutional law. Or they relocate to another state that doesn’t impose such laws on them.
If they choose not to do those things, but to submit, well, that is their choice. Don’t let them tell you they had no choice.
“She’s a reasonably intelligent lady.”
But she’s black first. That clouds everything for her, and always has. Before, she’s been more subtle about it, but now ...
