Mary Margaret Olohan, Senior Reporter for the Daily Signal, got ahold of some leaked internal Fox News documents that help explain what in the heck is going on with the network.
Olohan wrote on social media: “I obtained Fox’s policies on gender transition for employees. Fox employees are allowed to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender, and must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns.
“Fox News devotes hours of programming to attacking ‘woke companies,’ but ironically Fox is as woke as the rest of them,” a former Fox News employee told me, emphasizing that Fox viewers would be “astonished to find out what the company is like.”
“When Dylan Mulvaney was first gaining prominence, Tucker Carlson Tonight producers had to fight Fox to refer to Mulvany with male pronouns in the show’s chyrons, I’m told.”
She spoke to other unhappy employees.
“They want you to think it’s this place that supports traditionally conservative values,” a former producer for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” said.
“But in reality, they’re pushing this nonsense behind the scenes.”
According to her report at The Daily Signal:
“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.
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.”

.@MattWalshBlog: “There’s no daylight at all between Fox News and MSNBC when it comes to gender. And I think that’s something that Fox’s viewers need to know.” https://t.co/yDNqnZkisz

Fox also offers to help employees come up with a “Workplace Transition Plan.” More on that in our story.
