<\/source><\/picture>Fox News donated money to several left-leaning advocacy organizations, including The Satanic Temple, according to a recent report, as the network comes under fire for its behind-the-scenes embrace of LGBT ideology and other progressive causes.<\/p>\n
Fox News has developed a reputation as the go-to media outlet for conservative Americans. However, whistleblowers who either currently work at or once worked at the media outlet recently told Blaze Media that Fox News\u2019 parent company is willing to match donations of up to $1,000 to several left-wing advocacy groups through its \u201cFox Giving\u201d app.<\/p>\n
Blaze Media\u2019s Director of Programming Rikki Ratliff-Feldman spoke with two Fox News employees and one former Fox News producer who revealed that the company matches donations to three notoriously liberal advocacy organizations: abortion provider Planned Parenthood, LGBT activist group the Trevor Project and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Fox also matches donations to The Satanic Temple, which is known for its After School Satan Club launched to counter the Good News Club<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Christian Post reached out to Fox News for comment and will update this piece when a response is received.\u00a0<\/p>\n Screenshots provided in the Blaze report back up the whistleblowers\u2019 accounts. A close-up screenshot of the company portal\u2019s page offering employees the opportunity to donate to Planned Parenthood describes the company as \u201ca respected leader in educating Americans about reproductive and sexual health.\u201d The portal makes no mention of the company\u2019s role in performing nearly 400,000 abortions<\/a> in fiscal year 2021-’22.<\/p>\n As for the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization came under fire last month for listing the parental rights group Moms for Liberty<\/a> on its \u201chate map\u201d alongside the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC has developed a reputation for labeling opponents of progressive ideology as \u201chate groups.\u201d<\/p>\n Ratliff-Feldman reported that \u201cI watched [one] 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.\u201d<\/p>\n The former producer who spoke with Blaze Media cited the company\u2019s willingness to match donations to the far-left advocacy groups as evidence of \u201ccomplete disregard and hatred for Fox\u2019s core audience, which is a huge part of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n The producer, who along with the other sources chose to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisal, insisted that viewers \u201cwatch believing Fox is speaking for them, when in reality it\u2019s a company participating in certain things that don\u2019t match their audience\u2019s values.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c[The disdain] is driven more by executives, lawyers, and HR than people realize,\u201d he added. One of the current Fox News employees who spoke to Blaze Media agreed that the company\u2019s willingness to donate to progressive advocacy groups demonstrates a \u201cmismatch in values.\u201d According to the employee, \u201cOur business model has turned into \u2018just tell the audience what they want to hear.\u2019 It\u2019s about appeasing and assuaging the audience even though most people in the C-Suite disagree with their audience\u2019s values. It\u2019s manipulative.\u201d<\/p>\n The Blaze Media report comes about a month after leaked documents<\/a> shared by Daily Wire social commentator Matt Walsh showed that Fox encourages its employees to donate to the Trevor Project, which is known for pushing trans ideology in schools<\/a> and hosts \u201ca sexually explicit chat room that connects children as young as 13 years old with \u2018LGBT\u2019 adults.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n Another document shared by Walsh encouraged employees to read a book promoting \u201cglory holes,\u201d defined as \u201can opening drilled into the side of a restroom stall\u201d where \u201cyou slide your [male genital] through and someone on the other side gives you [oral sex].\u201d Additional findings presented in Walsh\u2019s document dump include an employee at the network expressing disdain for the cable news channel\u2019s core audience and the company\u2019s collaboration with notoriously liberal ice cream company Ben & Jerry\u2019s to host an LGBT pride event<\/a> in the Fox News lobby.<\/p>\n A Fox employee pointed to the findings of Walsh\u2019s document dump as well as the latest news about its donation matching for progressive organizations when asserting that \u201cFox pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise.\u201d The employee characterized \u201cglory holes, trans surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan\u201d as \u201ca huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt offends me personally that this company acts like they support Christians and yet they\u2019re literally willing to match [a] $1,000 donation to the Satanic Temple,\u201d the employee continued.<\/p>\n Fox\u2019s internal donation policy stresses that the company \u201cwill 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, \u2026 pregnancy or medical condition either in its selection of recipients of the organization\u2019s services, funds, or other support; in delivery of services or in its employment practices.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, the company does not match \u201cdonations made to organizations that are private and non-operating, or political, religious, or fraternal in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan Foley is a reporter for The Christian Post.
