‘FOX News Media routinely reviews our legal obligations including under federal, state, and local law and we have removed this language,’ a network spokesperson said in a statement. Fox News quickly scrubbed language from its open job listings showing its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after media reporter Oliver Darcy asked the network about the contradiction between its corporate embrace of diversity and Fox’s on-air hosts’ demonization of DEI.

Darcy noticed that the network expressed its deep commitment to DEI in each job posting that it listed – even for roles on shows hosted by MAGA culture warriors. “We are deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including attracting, retaining, and promoting diverse talent across our company,” the job postings noted at the bottom, adding: “We live in a diverse world, with different ideas and perspectives…reflecting the diversity of the world around us is critical to our company’s success.”.
Following his inquiry in which he asked about the network’s on-air commentary being “at severe odds with its stated goals,” Darcy noted that the pro-diversity language had been removed from the listings. A Fox News spokesperson then gave him the following statement: “FOX News Media routinely reviews our legal obligations including under federal, state, and local law and we have removed this language.”.
