Fox News reverses policy to match donations to Satanic Temple

Following the revelation by The Blaze media that Fox News matches donations to a number of far-left charities including (most egregiously) the Satanic Temple, the network has decided to change the policy and will no longer match those donations.

The network has not commented on the report from sources that it does not match donations to Billy Graham's charity but will match those for the Satanic Temple, Planned Parenthood, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), among others.

Glenn Beck discussed the policy on his radio program on Friday with the Blaze reporter who covered the story.

Policy change

The Blaze reported that Fox News has now extended an invitation to Billy Graham's charity to join its matching program, and has dropped the Satanic Temple from it.

Planned Parenthood and SPLC remain on the list, however.

Up to $1000 in donations by employees can be matched by Fox News under the program, which is administered by another company that handles charitable donations.

Certainly Fox News has some employees who are not conservative and would support these more liberal causes. There are a number of Republicans who say they are pro-choice, even if it is a minority, for instance.

But should they?

But the point of Beck and The Blaze is more about whether such donations should be supported by Fox News, given its purported conservative values/positions as a network.

After all, that's Fox News's money going to a group that it just last month reported was conducting an "assault on conservative groups."

Why would it want to support causes it directly opposes?

“We can’t confirm the little mystery,” Glenn said about the reported reversal, “because [Fox] never got back to us.”

Lots of changes

Fox News has gone through a lot of changes in recent years, most recently settling a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for almost a billion dollars and getting rid of its top-rated host, Tucker Carlson, in the same week.

While no official reason was ever given for yanking Carlson off the air in April, reports have circulated that it was over his talk about prayer and God, which he was supposedly told not to do by Rupert Murdoch.

One has to wonder whether Fox News is trying to shed its conservative label and become another CNN or MSNBC, though neither one of those networks has its ratings even without Tucker Carlson.
