Has Chik-fil-A abandoned the Salvation Army and FCA? The company claims it is merely redirecting its charitable giving. The media center-left, which includes the heavies and the so-called “fact-checking” sites, have howled that the criticism of the company’s action from the right is gross hyperbole. For me, I smell a rat … in the company and among our disreputable and tendentious national media.
Snopes.com came to the defense of the company’s decision by saying that Chik-fil-A and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes were just 2 of 80 organizations losing support. Snopes quoted the company’s announcement in describing their new giving philosophy as one to “deepen its giving to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger.” Hogwash! What a pile of mush.
How do you think a sellout to the cultural left occurs? “Deepen” becomes synonymous with “abandon”. The new foci are favorite hobby horses for the left’s ongoing program of social engineering. It’s certainly a way to soften the company’s image away from a Bible-based Christianity to a compromised form more compatible with transgendered bathrooms and new forms of nuptials.
Snopes and its media parasites aren’t engaging in “fact-checking” but in “claptrappery”. They mistake PR fluff for real motive. The company’s statement has all the earmarks of the ages-old campaign tactic of removing a candidate’s hard edge in order to appeal to a wider public. In this case, the company avoids the boycotts and the Antifa goons.
Until I hear of anything else, “sellout” appears to be the more accurate word.
