That\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\">@MattWalshBlog<\/a>\u00a0and others are explicitly trying to do<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s board\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2023\/05\/04\/foxs-board-muted-carlson-after-years-of-policy-differences\/\">includes<\/a> several executives who face enormous peer pressure to endorse the progressives\u2019 transgender push in exchange for the progressives\u2019 support of pro-business policies, such as mass migration.<\/p>\n<p>The company, however, was created to catch the eyeballs of the nation\u2019s vast centrist population. So the top managers allow its broadcast managers \u2014 for example, editors and producers \u2014 some leeway to ignore the company\u2019s woke handbook.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the author of a May 16 Fox News article about transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/bud-light-partnership-bombed-major-movie-studio-has-dylan-mulvaney-promoting-new-teen-film\">avoided using the \u201cshe\u201d pronoun<\/a> to describe Mulvaney, who is a man pretending to be a woman.\u00a0 Similarly, an April 30 article about a GOP candidate referred to the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2024-hopeful-vivek-ramaswamy-concerns-trans-rights-movement-negatively-impacting-kids\">trans ideology<\/a>.\u201d A May 19 article reported on the death of two people by suicide during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/republicans-demand-answers-nih-director-2-involved-transgender-youth-study-died-suicide\">a study of transgender medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the network\u2019s woke rules ensure that producers often endorse the ideology\u2019s authoritarian language and rules.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/transgender-female-disc-golfer-removed-womens-event-legal-drama\">May 14 article<\/a> about athlete Natalie Ryan referred to him as a \u201ctransgender \u2026 she.\u201d The ideology demands that the government pressure Americans to pretend that a person has switched sex if they declare an opposite-sex \u201cgender identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other posts, Fox describes Dylan Mulvaney as a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/dylan-mulvaney-illegal-journalists-wrong-pronouns-bad-journalism\">she<\/a>\u201d even though he is a he.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News used the term \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/florida-families-state-alleging-gender-affirming-care-ban-minors-violates-equal-protection\">an April 5 article<\/a>\u00a0for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rob_ThaBuilder\/status\/1659645962946592768\">often-gruesome<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Glinner\/status\/1660331706702757888?s=20\">irreversible<\/a>\u00a0hospital\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Glinner\/status\/1660675423548653568?s=20\">procedures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trans-woman-sues-nyc-yoga-studio-5-million-leave-womens-locker-room-humiliation\">May 21 article<\/a> downplayed the distinction between women and men with a headline saying, \u201cTrans woman sues NYC yoga studio for $5 million after being told to leave women\u2019s locker room: \u2018Humiliation\u2019.\u201d A May 3 article about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/transgender-women-hormones-higher-risk-prostate-cancer-undiagnosed-study\">male-only prostate cancer<\/a> described men as \u201ctransgender women,\u201d saying, \u201cTransgender women on hormones face higher risk of prostate cancer going undiagnosed: Study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2023\/05\/17\/all-conservative-leaning-outlets-dylan-mulvaney-pronouns\/\">news organizations<\/a> that describe themselves as centrist or conservative also comply with the ideology\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News, however, uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tag\/transgender\/\">clear language<\/a> to describe the costs and risks of the novel transgender ideology.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Fox News also follows a two-track policy on migration.<\/p>\n<p>Amid widespread alarm about half-open borders, the news and opinion shows frequently spotlight the border chaos, crime by illegals, and negative pool results for pro-migration Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>But they quietly obscure the massive and growing pocketbook damage caused by illegal and legal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cborder chaos\u201d side of the two-track policy wins eyeballs for the network\u2019s advertisers. The silence about the pocketbook damage protects major donors and advertisers from public demands for pro-American migration curbs that would help Americans earn higher wages and afford better housing.<\/p>\n<p>Fox\u2019s owner is Rupert Murdoch, who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2023\/05\/04\/foxs-board-muted-carlson-after-years-of-policy-differences\/\">a long-standing advocate<\/a> for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2013\/10\/gang-eights-coalition-bigs-andrew-stiles\/\">more migration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, he formed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424052748703900004575325412638269010\">a lobby group<\/a>\u00a0with Michael Bloomberg to lobby for the 2013 \u201cGang of Eight\u201d amnesty-and-more-migration bill.\u00a0Throughout the 2013 debate \u2014 and since then \u2014 Murdoch\u2019s news shows displayed the chaotic visuals of illegal migration while ignoring the economic impact of illegal and legal migration.<\/p>\n<p>But his advocacy failed, in part, because Tucker Carlson\u2019s former news site,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/immigration\/2022\/12\/09\/eagle-act-tech-investors-vs-everybody-else\/\">TheDailyCaller.com<\/a>\u00a0posted\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/05\/05\/munro-nytimes-smears-tucker-carlson-to-stifle-americans-immigration-debate\/\">many articles<\/a>\u00a0which exposed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2013\/06\/20\/cbo-says-immigration-bill-aids-investors-not-wage-earners\/\">exploitative economics<\/a>\u00a0behind the legislation.
