I cannot quite say why, but Hoffer's tart mot comes back to me, especially when I have pondered the recent fate of Fox News.
Then Fox infamously jettisoned Carlson, their most popular host, for reasons that, to me at least, remain somewhat obscure.
In any event, like many people, I thought that the change I sensed happening at Fox accelerated markedly after Carlson was pushed out.
The truth is that the change has been happening since 2016 when Roger Ailes, who started Fox in 1996 and built it into a $20 billion per year business, was pushed out by Rupert Murdoch.
Under the guise of corporate charitable giving, Fox is matching contributions of up to $1,000 per employee to various tax-exempt entities that meet its criteria.
Hitherto, Fox has been regarded as a conservative voice in a landscape overwhelmingly dominated by "Progressive," which is to say, increasingly woke and activist voices.
The Blaze quotes a current Fox employee who said, "Fox pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise. Glory holes, trans surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company, and we resent it."
