Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, director of programming for Blaze Media and executive producer for Glenn Beck — both of whom worked at Fox News at one point in their careers — break news on a Fox News corporate scandal.
In a shocking turn of events, the conservative-leaning media platform has been exposed for supporting far-left charities, including the Satanic Temple, the Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Ratliff-Fellman says that earlier this week, a former staffer tipped her off with news of Fox’s internal “giving” program.
To say she was shocked is an understatement.
By reaching out to sources inside Fox, Ratliff-Fellman was able to witness the atrocity with her own eyes.
“I watched them log in with their ID, and they went to what’s called a ‘Fox Giving app,'” she tells Glenn.
The app allows Fox News employees to locate their favorite charities and make a donation that Fox will then match up to $1,000 annually.
It sounds benevolent — until you see some of the charities on the app.
“The charities that they brought to my attention ... they’re not what you might consider to be a typical charity,” Ratliff-Fellman says.
And while she assures Glenn that there are legitimate charities on the app, including Samaritan's Purse and even Glenn’s own charity, Mercury One, there are also several others that are deeply concerning, to say the least.
She then displays a graphic showing Planned Parenthood as one of the organizations Fox will match up to 100%.
“A little bit antithetical to some of the things that they espouse on air,” she says before moving on to show another graphic presenting the Trevor Project, an organization that promotes LGBTQ services, as another charity option.
“[The Trevor Project is] most recently known for supporting legislation for what they call gender-affirming care but what Fox’s core audience would refer to as child gender-mutilation,” she explains to Glenn.
Glenn can’t contain his outrage when Ratliff-Fellman shows him a third graphic displaying The Southern Poverty Law Center as another Fox-supported charity–a group that “has referred to many of the Fox News hosts as hate mongers” and called the company “a hate-filled organization,” she explains.
As if it couldn’t get any worse, Ratliff-Fellman presents a final graphic displaying her “favorite” Fox-supported charity: the Satanic Temple.
While the very notion seems an impossibility, one can clearly see on the graphic that Fox News does indeed say the Satanic Temple is eligible for company donation matches.
“If there’s any Fox staffers that are, you know, in the mood to donate to a terrible cause like the Satanic Temple, [they] can do that, and Fox can match that up to 100%,” Ratliff-Fellman confirms for Glenn, who can hardly believe what he’s hearing.
“To me, this is just another example of how Fox News has changed and has sold themselves out to the ESG movement,” Glenn says.
Ratliff-Fellman and Beck both agree, however, that “there are a lot of good hosts and good people that work [at Fox News] that really believe in the values and are aligned with their core audience.”
Ratliff-Fellman concludes by expressing gratitude for the internal sources who courageously brought forth this information.
“They hope by telling this story … that Fox will maybe course-correct, at least internally,” she says.

Levin: Making America great again. Reagan and Trump's similar rise to the presidency
Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan have more in common than you might think.
According to Mark Levin, Reagan was the “greatest vote-getter in Republican history” despite coordinated attacks on his candidacy.
“The same propaganda or wrong analysis or intentional effort to undermine Trump was used against Reagan,” he explains.
While Reagan and Trump have incredibly different personalities, their roads to the White House were both unlikely and quite similar.
In a 2016 article from New York Magazine, Frank Rich writes, “Reagan and Trump’s opposing styles belie their similarities of substance. Both have marketed the same brand of outrage to the same angry segments of the electorate.”
Levin disagrees with Rich’s “cheap shots,” but agrees with the overall idea.
“The same jeering press attracted some of the same battlefront allies (Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Phyllis Schlafly), offended the same elites (including two generations of Bushes), outmaneuvered similar political adversaries, and espoused the same conservative populism,” Rich continued.
And Levin believes Trump can do it again.
“He already served for four years. We the American people are quite familiar with him, and we are quite familiar with the people who are trying to undermine him,” Levin says.
