If it supports their race hierarchy, then it must be ok for Fox News.
Fox News published images on its website that had be digitally altered and were misleading about demonstrations in Seattle, where a group of largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters were occupying six blocks. The doctored images made the protesters appear violent and dangerous.
This deceitful tactic was called out by the local newspaper, the Seattle Times. The newspaper asked Fox News about the pictures, and Fox News took them down.

Boycott Idaho Because of Anti-Transgender Law
The cis/trans gender hierarchy is rearing its head in Idaho. Idaho has passed a controversial law that bans transgender women from competing in women's sports.
Billy Jean King and Megan Rapinoe, as well as many advocacy groups, has sent a letter to the NCAA asking it to pull the men's 2021 basketball tournament from Boise scheduled for March 18-20.
The ban applies to all sports teams sponsored by public schools, colleges, and universities. No team for girls or women will be open to transgender students who identify as female.

Megan Rapinoe was Right All Along
US Soccer Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone has apologized to soccer women's national soccer team leader Megan Rapinoe for the policy that the federation instituted when Rapinoe knelt in support of Colin Kaepernick.
US Soccer added the rule when following right-leaning conservatives who tried to make the issue a "patriotic" one, and acted like it was more important to follow our country's hierarchies than support human rights.
“The protests definitely galvanized our thinking on the issue,” Parlow Cone said. “In 2017, when we passed the policy, the board’s discussion centered around the national anthem and the perceived disrespect for the flag, and we missed the point completely. It wasn’t ever about the flag. It was and is about fighting police brutality and the racial injustices in our society. And it’s about seeing and believing and standing with our black and minority communities that fight injustices.”
