Fox News and Fox Business outraged that Disney is including consent in The Little Mermaid – By Lis Power (Media Matters) / Apr 8 2023
Fox faults “woke ideology” for changes to the children’s movie
In what Fox seemingly considers an important story today, the team working on the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has changed some words in the song Kiss the Girl. The changes are meant to ensure that the idea of consent is represented in the children’s movie, a move that Fox has lamented as wokeness.
Fox News and Fox Business have devoted at least 4 segments to the changes.
On Fox News @ Night, anchor Trace Gallagher introduced the segment by claiming that “some of the songs in Disney’s live-action reboot of The Little Mermaid are getting a major rewrite, all in the name of woke ideology.” An earlier tease for the story had him cringingly joke that the lyrics “up where they walk, up where they run” might be changed to “up where they woke.”
