Fox News Requests Bud Light Treatment

Leftists enjoy crushing their opposition in a full frontal assault in the tradition of Joseph Stalin, but when that isn’t expedient, they use the Antonio Gramsci approach of infiltrating and subverting institutions they oppose. Progressive bête noire Fox News is a case in point. The liberal establishment inflicted serious damage with the Dominion lawsuit, directly costing FNC nearly $800 million and forcing it to fire its #1 attraction. But the death blow that kills Fox will be delivered from within.

The Daily Signal has gotten ahold of a company handbook revealing that Fox News complies obediently with LGBT mandates, specifying that men can use the women’s restroom, can show up for work dressed in women’s clothes, and must be referred to with female pronouns if they so demand. Employees are encouraged to become transsexual through a “Workplace Transition Plan.”

The revelations [come] 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).

Imagine trusting a media source that arrogantly lies to your face, even when it clearly knows you know it is lying. This is the case when “journalists” refer to guys like Mulvaney and Thomas as “she.” They express open contempt for their audience and force you to wonder what else they are lying about.

It isn’t just a rule of thumb; it is an iron clad law. No outlet that knowingly refers to people by the wrong pronouns in order to comply with LGBTism can be regarded as a reliable source of information.

What now passes for journalism borders on a crime against humanity:

Fox also drew strong backlash for a June 2022 on-air segment praising a child’s gender transition as an “inspiration to others.” That segment briefly depicted California state Sen. Scott Weiner, a far-left Democrat who led the move to soften sex offender registry requirements for sodomy with minors, and highlighted the activist claim that a child might commit suicide if he or she is not permitted to transition.

The pernicious effect extends beyond the Fox News viewership to compromise conservatives in general. Matt Walsh and Steve Deace explain how:

Disney’s leftist propaganda outlet ESPN is particularly insidious because it circumvents intellectual defenses by disguising the moonbattery under a sugar coating of sports coverage. FNC is more insidious still, hiding the woke poison in conservative lite pablum.

Those who rock the liberal establishment boat soon end up over the gunwale — e.g., Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, and Glenn Beck.

Carlson had to fight FNC brass to get the eloquent opponent of LGBTism Walsh on his show. Walsh notes that there is “no daylight at all between Fox News and MSNBC when it comes to gender” and adds,

“If it were up to me, Fox would get the Bud Light treatment.”

Fox is even more vulnerable that Anheuser-Busch, having a customer base that consists almost entirely of people sick of being force-fed liberalism.

Free Speech Crackdown Extended to Talk Radio

The awful occurrence at the Capitol on January 6 was possible because people no longer trust the integrity of our elections, or of the liberal-dominated system in general. More censorship will not help:

Cumulus Media, which employs some of the most popular right-leaning talk-radio hosts in the United States, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump – or else face termination. …

“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Brian Philips, executive vice president of content for Cumulus, wrote in an internal memo, which was first reported by Inside Music Media. Cumulus and its program syndication arm, Westwood One, “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’ ”

The memo adds: “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Cumulus owns 416 radio stations, many based on the conservative-dominated talk format. Hosts include heavy hitters Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and Dan Bongino.

Michael Harrison publishes Talkers magazine…

Asked how hosts who have repeatedly promoted Trump’s claims of fraud can now credibly flip to acceptance, Harrison said: “I would hope they put their personal feelings aside and come clean with their listeners.”

“Come clean” means stick to the official narrative. What they actually believe is irrelevant in the sort of country this is turning into.

Nothing fans the flames of paranoia like heavy-handed censorship. Unless the establishment is run by idiots, the objective is not to “induce national calm.” The solution to wrong information is right information. Gags are for suppressing wrongthink and marginalizing alternative points of view. Marginalization does not result in calm; it results in radicalization.

DHS Alert to Threat of Dissident Thought

Dissent isn’t patriotic anymore. Under the current administration, dissent is terrorism.

In case you were wondering what the Department of Homeland Security has been doing rather than defending the USA from the massive ongoing invasion pouring across the southern border, it publishes bulletins like this:

The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.

As we know from watching the government’s Big Tech cat’s-paws censoring officially disapproved Covid information, misinformation and disinformation can be defined as anything that contradicts the Democratic Party line at the present instant.

These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence.

You don’t have to commit acts of violence to be of concern to the Department of Homeland Security. You just have to undermine trust in discredited institutions like the DHS that only a drooling mental defective would regard as trustworthy. That could potentially inspire someone else to violence.

[T]he convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions…

“False or misleading narratives” are any that contradict the crumbling edifice of preposterous lies that constitutes the liberal establishment narrative.

Just because the DHS’s Alejandro Mayorkas is a gelatinous gerbil doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous. His squishy soft face and frightened rodent eyes fit modern tyranny even more perfectly than the synthetic plastic surgery disaster that serves Joe Biden for a face.
