A story headline on Fox News suggested the Progress Pride flag promotes "grooming and pedophilia."
Fox News faced fierce backlash this week after it linked a new version of the Pride flag to "grooming and pedophilia," the latest anti-LGBTQ rhetoric from the conservative media giant.
"White House flew controversial new transgender flag that promotes grooming and pedophilia, say critics," read a now-deleted Fox News tweet and the headline on a story posted on Wednesday.
Fox News is straight up saying the pride flag promotes 'grooming and pedophilia.'
Meanwhile, Fox News' parent company used the Progress Pride flag design on its logo last year in a "Corporate Social Responsibility Report."
