IN A RARE STANCE OF FOX CORP EMPLOYE SPEAKG OUT AGAST THEIR OWN EMPLOYER’S VERAGE, FOX PRI—THE ROURCE GROUP FOR LGBTQ+ WORKERS AND ALLI ACROSS FOX BRANDS—NMNED FOX NEWS’ “HATEFUL” ANTI-LGBTQ RHETORIC AN TERNAL SLACK MSAGE EARLIER THIS MONTH. THE SLACK MSAGE WAS FIRST REPORTED BY DTRY GOSSIP SE FTV LIVE AND NFIRMED BY THE DAILY BEAST THIS WEEK. “FOX PRI NOUNC STATEMENTS MA REGARDG SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND GENR INTY ON FOX NEWS THE PAST WEEK,” THE FOX PRI BOARD WROTE THE APRIL 5 STATEMENT TO THE GROUP’S PANY-WI SLACK CHANNEL, WHICH, ACRDG TO THE DAILY BEAST, CLUS EMPLOYE OM FOX BRANDS SUCH AS FOX NEWS AND FOX WEATHER.FOX PRI'S STATEMENT WENT ON TO SUGGT FOX NEWS’ ON-AIR TREATMENT OF THE LGBTQ+ MUNY IS AT ODDS WH THE VALU OF S OWN PARENT PANY. “WHILE THE TERNAL SUPPORT AND ROURC FOX CORP.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH."FOX’S LGBTQ STAFF GROUP'S NOUNCEMENT OF FOX NEWS’ VERAGE OF FLORIDA’S “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL AND OTHER ISSU REGARDG SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND GENR INTY OFFERS A VALUABLE GLIMPSE TO THE TERNAL DISSENSN ACROSS RUPERT MURDOCH’S MEDIA EMPIRE.
