Warning: Fox News’ Pride messaging may cause you to question the very fabric of existence, because nothing this blatantly hypocritical could exist within the laws of physics.
Of course, if anyone could do it, it’s the network that promoted anti-vax conspiracy theories while requiring its employees to be fully vaccinated.
Media Matters recently shared a clip of Fox News celebrating “America Together: LGBTQ+ Pride Month,” followed by recent examples of its hosts attacking the LGBTQ community.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Celebrate Pride Month with Fox News,” a voice says. “Meet important voices of the LGBTQ+ community and go inside their incredible contributions.”
Then the video cuts to Fox personalities attacking queer people, from general “groomer” hysteria to repeatedly misgendering transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.

The right has only become more rabid by their continued losses in their self generated “culture wars.”

FoxNews is a far-right propaganda outlet passing as a news station. It should be regulated and treated as such, particularly by other news media outlets.

I don’t understand what it is that the right and Fox News is so afraid of about the LGBTQ+ community. Are they afraid that we are going to take over the country? This reminds me of the times when some people believed that the African race was inherently inferior to the White race. Or the prejudice and negative attitudes that some Americans had about Asians. Is it just a question of educating these ignorant people about their mis-judgements and lack of compassion?
Or do we just wait until they all die off?
