No Surprise: Behind the Scences -- and Sometimes In Front of the Cameras -- FoxNews Is All-In on Gender Ideology

The Daily Signal reports:


FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL--Fox News employees are allowed to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex, and permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender. They must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns in the workplace.

These are just a few of the policies outlined in the company handbook, dated January 2021, a copy of which was shared with The Daily Signal. Fox also offers to help employees come up with a "Workplace Transition Plan" to ease their gender transition at work.

The revelations comes amid conservative consternation at Fox Digital's use of activist language like "gender affirming care" in stories on its website, as well as the site's consistent use of female pronouns for biological males like TikTok celebrity Dylan Mulvaney and swimmer Lia Thomas (formerly known as Will Thomas).

...

The Daily Signal talked to current and former Fox employees who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the company.

"They want you to think it's this place that supports traditionally conservative values," a former producer for "Tucker Carlson Tonight" told The Daily Signal. "But in reality, they're pushing this nonsense behind the scenes."

Carlson's show was canceled April 24, days after he delivered a viral speech at The Heritage Foundation's 50th anniversary gala. Fox News Media has not given a reason, simply stating that the two parties "agreed to part ways."

A source who still works at Fox News told The Daily Signal that after Carlson's show was canceled in April, producers for the new 8 p.m. "Fox News Tonight" program were told not to bash Mulvaney. That directive came from high-level executives, the source said.

Fox News did not respond to The Daily Signal's multiple requests for comment.


Under the category "Gender Transition," Fox's employee handbook promises that the company is dedicated to "expanding and strengthening" efforts to "sustain a more inclusive work environment." The Fox employee handbook is posted on Workday, where employees can see company guidelines or policies, a former employee told The Daily Signal.

"Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly," the policy says.

Citing the Human Rights Campaign, one of the most prominent LGBTQ organization in the country, the Fox handbook defines a slew of LGBTQ terms, including cisgender, gender expression, gender-fluid, gender identity, gender non-conforming, gender transition, LGBTQ, non-binary, and transgender.

For the past several years, Fox received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, "the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality." A former Fox News employee told The Daily Signal that the company frequently mentions this perfect score in employee training materials.

More at the link.

Note that some of this, such as allowing men in women's bathrooms, is dictated by New York law.

But this wasn't:

Fox News just laid off its entire investigatory unit, says Rolling Stone, owing to the Dominion settlement. Fox denies this, saying the unit was just "reorganized."

Meanwhile, the New York Times is worried about people feeling "vulnerable" in the bathrooms.

Vulnerable, due to the law Ron DeSantis just signed declaring that people will use the bathrooms corresponding to their real sex. Not their imaginary delusionary LARP "gender," but their real biological sex.

The New York Times isn't afraid for the vulnerability of the women who have to be in a small enclosed space with a man.

They're afraid for the men in women's bathrooms. Worried that the women will narc them out as "bathroom gender enforcers."

[B]athroom bills are back, part of a pitiless onslaught against trans bodies that gathers speed with each passing day. The new Florida bills target many aspects of trans people's lives, expanding the "Don't Say Gay" policies in school to older students, banning gender-affirming medical care for children and allowing the state to seize children from parents who allow them to receive such care. The laws also prohibit schools from recognizing a child's preferred name or pronouns.

The new bathroom law is particularly cruel and absurd. Politicians claim these measures seek to make bathrooms safer. But I have yet to see any of these legislators produce a shred of credible evidence that transgender people pose a safety threat to cisgender people in bathrooms.

I guess this opinion piece didn't go viral the way the New York Times was hoping, because soon after publishing it, they gave it a new improved clickbaity headline:

From 2018 it was obvious. The guy calling Fox (Mishkin?) elections has been there even longer.

I haven't watched Fox for years with the occasional election night bender in 2012 and 2016. The frantic Karl Rove running, perhaps waddling is a better term, through Fox's offices in 2012 after the call for Obama in a state (Ohio maybe) still amuses me after all these years.

38 This "they'd rather have a live son than a dead daughter" is the central fallacy and canard of the Hard Trans Agitators.

Absolutely no quality of studies that show that "transitioning" young people lowers their long term risk of suicide. And there are many confounding variables such as the co morbidities of other mental illness of this group, superimposed on the already high rates of suicide and self harm for gays generally.

Have been for a long time, and not just behind the scenes. It has long been obvious that there were two Fox News organizations. The news side was center-left to left. The commentary side was center-right to right. But there was always that division between the two.

This is wisdom. The executives at megacorps generally come from the rotted fruits at Ivy League and their counterparts on the West Coast. Those that did not come from those colleges are often even worse as they try to fit in with the kool kids.

These executives no longer sweat the stock market valuations as much as long as they maintain their social class standing with their peers.

71 People in Portland were shocked a few weeks ago because REI, the venerated outdoor equipment cooperative, announced that it would be shutting its only store within the Portland city limits, due to rampant crime.

(The criminals celebrated the early morning of Black Friday by stealing a car, ramming the front doors of the store to open them, and then stealing everything they could.)

Well, some correspondence between the city government and REI has come out, including this tidbit:

The mayor also suggested that REI reconsider policies that prohibit its security and staff from participating in prosecutions that are referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

This is so classically Portland "progressive":

"We want you to do something about the rampant crime at our store, but we don't want to sully our hands by having to cooperate with the cops and the prosecutors to get these criminals charged."

74 Ah, my favorite ever leftist language construction. "Trans bodies." Or "black bodies" or "female bodies" or whatever. The reason I love this construction so much is because it is so accurate a reflector of the leftist worldview.

You are your body. Nothing else. Your work ethic, your morality, your faith, your role as husband or wife or sibling or whatever, your job, your values, etc. - none of that shit matters. With this construction, they say what they mean. They can't help it. You are a piece of meat. Nothing more. Your container is the only thing matters.

Not really working though. High ESG ratings are correlated with lower profit. Doesn't matter if you get cheaper money when you borrow if you can't service the debt.

Smaller competitors should avoid debt anyway as I don't think the debt-leverage model does nearly as well with historically normal interest rates. That crap came from applying startups where the intent was never to make a profit in the first place but to sell to a bigger corporation.

It will not surprise me if the data that come out over the next 10 years show that the medical "transitioners" have a higher suicide rate than those who do not. These are brutal, painful procedures that wreck your body.

If you're looking for some very disturbing and sometimes graphic reading on this topic, there was a time that you could head to Reddit - specifically to /r/transgender_surgery. This was a pro-trans board where they ask each other for advice, etc. It was a nightmare of pain, infection, inability to orgasm, medical crises and general misery.

It's been shut down because it was "unmoderated" but probably actually because it was too graphic and unbowdlerized as to the consequences of this stuff. Truly horrifying.

They're afraid for the men in women's bathrooms. Worried that the women will narc them out as "bathroom gender enforcers."

If you're looking for some very disturbing and sometimes graphic reading on this topic, there was a time that you could head to Reddit - specifically to /r/transgender_surgery. This was a pro-trans board where they ask each other for advice, etc. It was a nightmare of pain, infection, inability to orgasm, medical crises and general misery.

It's been shut down because it was "unmoderated" but probably actually because it was too graphic and unbowdlerized as to the consequences of this stuff. Truly horrifying.

183 They must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns in the workplace.

*******

This is one of the biggest absurdities of the pronoun nonsense. Gender-specific pronouns are not used when you are talking to someone. If addressing someone and referring to them the apt pronoun usage would be, "You did well..." as opposed to "Xir did well..." Gender specific pronouns are used in conversation between two parties referring to a third person. "He did well..." If the third party's external presentation is ambiguous alternative terms could be used to identify the object of your conversation such as, "Kim did well..." or "Whozit from Accounting did well..."

Bottom line, it's not your pronoun. When I'm speaking, it's MY pronoun.

184 Earlier this year, she began taking semaglutide, also known as Wegovy, after being prescribed the drug for weight loss. (Colloquially, it is often referred to as Ozempic, though that is technically just the brand name for semaglutide that is marketed for diabetes treatment.) Her food thoughts quieted down. She lost weight. But most surprisingly, she walked out of Target one day and realized her cart contained only the four things she came to buy. “I’ve never done that before,” she said. The desire to shop had slipped away. The desire to drink, extinguished once, did not rush in as a replacement either. For the first time—perhaps the first time in her whole life—all of her cravings and impulses were gone. It was like a switch had flipped in her brain.

Perhaps. The bigger problem might be around the concept of "informed consent," though. These dick-choppers aren't really "informing" much if at all.

Well, the Democrat party has been the Defacto ruling party since the 30's, they created the structures, the systems, the agencies and act like a legitimate political party.

Irrespective of the Regan revolution and the rise of the GOP in the 90's, the Donks have never acted as if they were "out of power," and concomoittingly, the GOP never acts as if it's in power or has actual power to affect change.

And that is largely why we are in the predicament we find ourselves in, trapped between the maniacs of the Democrat party and betacucks of The Republican Party.

218 "I fully expect the data to show that, and I fully expect the researcher who first publishes it to be pilloried."

What we do know is that 80-90% of kids with "gender dysphoria" will drop the nonsense by mid adolesence. Yet almost 100% of those put on "puberty blockers" will progress to cross hormones, with almost guaranteed sterility (and high rates of further surgery). So while we don't understand why (though many common sense explanations abound) we certainly DO know that giving "hormone blockers" is not a pause, but putting these kids on a one way tranny train.

231 This "they'd rather have a live son than a dead daughter" is the central fallacy and canard of the Hard Trans Agitators.

Absolutely no quality of studies that show that "transitioning" young people lowers their long term risk of suicide. And there are many confounding variables such as the co morbidities of other mental illness of this group, superimposed on the already high rates of suicide and self harm for gays generally.

But we do know with 100% certainty that cutting off your ying yang cuts off your ying yang.

It also had the only sink in the building. The Iranians would leave their dirty dishes in the sink until it filled up, and only then would they clean them up. The Marines had a lot of fun pissing all over the Iranian's dishes every time they used the toilet.

Went on for months until the Iranians finally figured out why their dishes imparted some extra "tang" in the taste of their food.

I've done quite a bit of bankruptcy work. When companies go under, it's generally not because of their income. It's because of their debt. Companies over-leverage themselves and it ends up suffocating them. And this can happen even in environments when debt is cheap. The risks are even higher when debt is expensive.

Right, but artificially cheap and continually-cheaper debt makes this a really appealing process. Just refinance it at the lower rate, borrow a bit more at the same time, have the same coupon. If you have access to the commercial credit markets, you could have made money with literally zero dollars in revenue just by refinancing over the past 15 years.

But when those rates go up, hooo boy.

Posted by: Thesokorus at May 22, 2023 12:50 PM (aO5QN)
___________

Yes, but it's actually more than just the actual payments/servicing. Corporate debt usually comes with strict "strings attached" that require certain financial conditions to be met or maintained (debt to equity, debt to income, P&L, etc) or it triggers certain rights of the lender, and most likely even default. So even if the borrower can technically still make the payments, the debt can still work to suffocate the business. Usually of course, if the company can't meet these strings attached, an inability to make the payments is usually not far off.

Would also apply to refinancing short term debt and commercial paper markets. Basically, mega corp get that way because they leverage massive size itself into generating profits from financial operations as Joe Mannix noted.

For example, WalMart used to pay suppliers somewhere between 90-120 days. So WalMart has sold the product in a week and kept the supplier's money for most of the 90-120 days. That is why new retail establishments have explosive growth. But, when mature and no longer growing much if at all, that float becomes essential as a source of financial profit. When suppliers start balking because of fear of bankruptcy, then they often require POD or much higher prices to cover risk. So you end up with Bed Bath and Beyond.

Most of the economics taught in school have no relationship with actuality. This includes the idea of entrepreneurs instead of management at a firm.

If the company's debt payments are negligible, it most likely won't ever get into trouble with the strings either. I was talking about heavily leveraged companies. In these leveraged cases, I have seen debt called (the loans put into default) by the lender for failure to maintain the strings, even though no actual payments were missed. The lender in these cases is convinced the borrower will eventually be unable to make the payments, so it decides to get in there early with its default claim (and possible priority on the collateral or claims of other lenders).
