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:

Welcome to the party, pal.
Why? That’s dumb. Those who want “the left’s diversity, equity and inclusion agenda” can simply pickup the remote and go to CNN, MSN, PBS, abc, NBC or CBS. There is no shortage of that crap on TV for retarded turd rolling, zombie walkers. When FOX was actually FOX, it was the “media’s” version of “CHOICE”. That “choice” is gone now. It’s all Far-Left Fascist Booschitt All The Time now.
I usually watch Mark Levin and Hilton on Sunday night at 9 and 10 PM on the west coast.
I flipped on Fox and there was no Levin or Hilton scheduled.
I forget the name of the new show and new host, but the first guest claimed that Republican federal judges were just as biased as Democrat judges.
Whoa - both sides are equally guilty crap?
Not interested!
The Fox News evening line up (and Free Republic) are where I get 100% of my political news.
Since Tucker got fired, the Fox evening line up is just constant repetition of the half dozen leading stories in the news that day, without any special insight or commentary.
Fox News is committing political and financial suicide.
The USA in 2023 is like Germany in 1929...
No one is searching for a Fair and Balanced news source!
“I wonder if she is doing this to draw attention that would STOP this from continuing. “
no, like ALL news-readers, she was ordered to read this by the folks who write her scripts and sign her paychecks ... period ...
That chilled me to the bone. She just sat there and glared.
What, is she vying for a promotion and raise?
I once liked and respected Harris Faulkner—this is sad news indeed. Fox is gone. What can replace it? The Deep State won this round but they are setting things up for a real dust up. Americans are not Soviets. I have my Bonnie Blue Flag ready.
No one can say what's really on their mind at the time. Makes sense. Sean Hannity sounds like that and then he gets to play golf at his local country club.
The irony is companies are starting to move away from this as well as ESG
Lisa Kennedy Montgomery's Fox Business show Kennedy has been canceled and replaced by a rerun of Larry Kudlow's eponymous post-market program. The final episode of Kennedy will be today, June 1.
LOL, yea, it's something but I can't put my finger on it.
so she’s another that got “exited”.
Fox News may hire Joy Bahar and Woopie Cough for their own news shows.
Its the really big almond shaped eyes and the triangular face/head/skull.
+1
Ehh, Who cares. I haven’t watched Fox in years and see no reason to change now.
This is an unprecedented age of information.
To get information via some self-proclaimed “cable news” channel is just primitive.
There is NOTHING to be gained intellectually watching so-called cable news.
If you need have a little visual and auditory stimulation, get a lava lamp and play some music.
