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:

VERY DISAPPOINTING!
I still recall how this affirmative action ditz gaged when Newt Gingrich mentioned the name of George Soros during a on the air convo.
Wouldn’t surprise me, they have been going down the bud light path for some time, this will do nothing for ratings, lost me election night. Sometime caught tucker on YouTube but that was it
Harris Faulkner,
the one who stopped Newt from mentioning Sore-Ass by name?
that Faux Shill?
credibility ain’t her strong point
As Jesus correctly stated, “No man can serve two masters.”
Bob Dylan sang, “Well, it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you are going to have to serve somebody.”
Harris Faulkner understands there is no middle ground on what is happening in America.
We are living in the Time of Choosing.
It can’t be demanded. Not by any state or the feds. She’s either tripping balls, or she’s just making stuff up to apologize for the networks left full rudder.
Caught an episode of Faulkner’s new evening show, and she minced no words about the need for this nation to return to its CHRISTIAN roots.
Her opening statements were a strong confession of her faith in God, and His only-begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hope Fox does not cancel this show!
Yes!!
And, her new evening show proves the truth of what you wrote.
Gave up on Fox, years ago, except for a couple talking heads.
That can’t be a serious statement.
What on earth does her ethnicity have to do with anything?
I listen to Bongino's morning podcast periodically. He said his Fox departure was over working during weekends. His Saturday night show was filmed on Friday, but they wanted him available on the weekends.
You forgot the /s/
Now the CEO of CNN is out.
“forced to incorporate the left’s diversity, equity and inclusion agenda”
This is the issue. If they want investments and financing available to them these institutions demand their CEI/DEI scores meet a certain level. If not, the answer is ‘no’.
This is top-down tyranny, ‘mark of the beast’ crap. The next step is to filter this down to individuals. If you’re not compliant with the left’s agenda you’ll be put on a list and corporations won’t do business with you. It doesn’t need government to enforce anything.
When you are in a hole, its time to stop digging.
interesting - but he has disappeared as a guest too so...
Red states should be locking up CEOs that mandate it.
“Totalitarianism is growing”
Our color revolution is over.
They are just mopping up now.
