I haven't read what he leaked yet.


I work at Fox News Channel.

The final straw for me came last year. Oddly, it wasn't anything on TV that turned me rogue, though plenty of things on our air had pushed me in that direction over the years. But what finally broke me was a story on The Fox Nation. If you're not a frequenter of Fox Nation (and if you're reading Gawker, it's a pretty safe bet you're not) I can describe it for you — it's like an unholy mashup of the Drudge Report, the Huffington Post and a Klan meeting. Word around the office is that the site was actually the brainchild of Bill O'Reilly's chief stalker (and Gawker pal) Jesse Watters.

The Nation aggregates news stories, gives them provocative headlines, and invites commenters to weigh in. The comments are fascinating actually, if you can detach yourself enough to view them as sort of the id of the conservative movement. Of course, if you can't detach yourself, then you're going to come away with a diminished view of human decency, because HOLY MOLY THESE PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THE BLACK PRESIDENT. I'm not saying they dislike him BECAUSE he's black, but a lot of the comments, unprompted, mention the fact that he is black, so what would you say, Dr. Freud?

...

The post that broke the camel's back might be familiar to some of you, because it garnered a lot of attention and (well-deserved) ridicule when it hit last August. The item was aggregating several news sources that were reporting innocuously on President Obama's 50th birthday party, which was attended by the usual mix of White House staffers, DC politicos and Dem-friendly celebs. The Fox Nation, naturally, chose to illustrate the story with a photo montage of Obama, Charles Barkley, Chris Rock, and Jay Z, and the headline "Obama's Hip Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs."

Oh well.....personally I would like to see all those that have been there for years milking it be put out to pasture. Thats with all polticians and Media Peeps. Time to let new blood into the buisness. People that won't just play the game the way these Corporations want to play it. The American People need to quit letting the Media influence politics.

Turns out this guy didn't really have much to say at all. All he 'leaked' was a video of Mitt Romney talking about him and his wife horseback riding.

I usually don't take such a hard line.....but when we have liberals that are trying to dumb-down all sorts of information and then want to focus on how they feel or their semantic as opposed to the facts. Then always hearing them talk shit out of their mouths. Tends to make me amp up and find all that is true as shit about them and those people that put party First rather than Country.

Funny thing any of those I served with in Combat, under live fire that said they were Demos or Libs. None of them talk like the clowns we got round here. Not one of them. Course these clowns weren't aware of the Juggalo.

Naturally I don't think this guy was about infiltrating Fox. Like most others he needed a job. But then I find people tend to let others influence them or their actions. Which usually leads to some sort of trouble.

Please stay on topic. This is not a thread about liberals. It's about a corrupt news corporation. There's no possible way that you could logically involve liberals with this conversation.

Thanks.

So shall we move on to a discussion of the immoral and backhanded tactics of MSNBC instead?

Maybe ACORN and the communist ties they have and the un prosecuted crimes they have racked up.

I have a few more to debate.......

And yet...

Anybody else think FOX is going over the top to shut that guy up? I'd like to know what it is they are trying to protect. This guy sure seems to have hit a soft spot with them.

I don't care if you believe me or not, it's not that important to me, I don't know why I brought it up.

Although if I wanted to make a stink about it I certainly could. I know the right wing would make a huge fuss about any liberal figure in a picture with a topless woman.
