Despite Fox News being a historically right-leaning network favored by Republicans, whistleblowers at the media giant have exposed its support for far-left charities.
According to The Blaze, Fox insiders said the network would subsidize some of the activist groups that seek to ruin its viewership, evidencing a “complete disregard and hatred” for its core right-leaning audience.
“Fox Giving” is an app in the company portal that facilitates charitable donations through a Canadian-based donation management platform Benevity, reportedly matching donations up to $1,000 to various organizations.
The Fox News is willing to match donations to the Satanic Temple, the Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood (and local Planned Parenthood branches), and the Southern Poverty Law Center – all radical far-left charities and groups.
As The Blaze notes:
The Satanic Temple is an atheistic leftist organization that has distributed satanic literature to children; publicly performed “unbaptisms”; sought to ensure that women can legally have their unborn children killed by way of their “religious abortion ritual”; and erected statues of Baphomet on government property.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a leftist grievance organization that tends to characterize conservatives, parental rights groups, constitutionalists, and those critical of big government as extremists and bigots. For instance, last month, the SPLC deemed Moms for Liberty an “anti-government extremist group.” Fox, which the SPLC previously called a “megaphone” for far-right extremist groups, has even written up some of the SPLC’s various scandals in the past, including the 2012 incident when a gunman attacked the Family Research Council, which he noted he had seen on the SPLC’s “hate map.”
The Trevor Project is an activist group that purportedly seeks to “end suicide among LGBTQ young people” but actively promotes gender ideology and woke propaganda. The group claims that “gender is a social construct” and holds fast to the notion that sex-change mutilations and cross-sex hormone therapies can be meaningful remedies for at-risk teens.
Planned Parenthood is not just in the business of exterminating the unborn, having executed nearly 9 million babies in its abattoirs since 1970, but is among the second-largest provider of cross-sex hormone therapy in the nation. The organization has battled Republicans’ pro-life legislation around the country and has long supported Democratic candidates.
Two current Fox News employees and one former Fox News producer, who spoke on anonymity, told The Blaze these same groups have ostensibly been eligible for a charitable top-up from Fox.
One source provided screenshots confirming the allegations.
The Fox whistleblower showed some of the donation matches seen in the screenshots.
“I watched this source physically log in to their company portal at Myfox.okta.com to confirm the giving app and to see some of the questionable charities and the donation match option for myself to verify nothing was photoshopped,” Ratliff-Fellman said.
The insiders revealed how donations to the Satanic Temple, the SPLC, Planned Parenthood, and the Trevor Project would all receive 100% matching donations by Fox.
One current employee stressed, “Fox pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise. Glory holes, trans surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company, and we resent it,” adding, “It offends me personally that this company acts like they support Christians and yet they’re literally willing to match $1,000 donation to the Satanic Temple.”
Fox’s internal donation policy states:
“FOX will not match or provide volunteering rewards to : -Donations to organizations that discriminate on the basis of a personal characteristic or attribute, including, but not limited to, age, disability, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity characteristics or expression, marital status, … pregnancy or medical condition either in its selection of recipients of the organization’s services, funds, or other support; in delivery of services; or in its employment practices.”
While Fox matches donations to the Satanic Temple, the company further states it will not match or provide volunteering rewards to “donations made to organizations that are private and non-operating, or political, religious, or fraternal in nature.”
The former Fox producer indicated the liberal musculature behind the network’s conservative face is growing stronger.
“It became clear certain things weren’t going to be tolerated on air anymore after Tucker was gone. We were told: Lay off Dylan Mulvaney,” said the former producer.
“Once I realized we couldn’t say certain things on air anymore, I started to dig more into the reality of the corporate views.”
“It shows complete disregard and hatred for Fox’s core audience, which is a huge part of the country. They watch believing Fox is speaking for them when in reality, it’s a company participating in certain things that don’t match their audience’s values. [The disdain] is driven more by executives, lawyers, and HR than people realize, especially post-Dominion,” said the former producer, in reference to the company’s $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Services earlier this year.
“It goes to show there’s definitely a mismatch in values,” said the second Fox employee. “Our business model has turned into ‘just tell the audience what they want to hear.’ It’s about appeasing and assuaging the audience even though most people in the C-Suite disagree with their audience’s values. It’s manipulative.”
