Summary:
The “Fox Mole”-whose dispatches for Gawker made headlines in Businessweek, The Hollywood Reporter, and even on THE BRAND NEW York Situations website-delivers a funny, opinionated memoir of his eight years at the unfair, unbalanced Fox News Route working as a co-employee producer for Expenses O’Reilly.
Imagine needing to cover your true values just to keep a job you hated. Today imagine your job was producing the largest show on the largest cable news route in the us, and you’ll get yourself a feeling of what life was about An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal’s Eight-Year Odyssey into the Heart of the Right-Wing Press like for Joe Muto. Like a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal, Joe’s viewpoints obviously didn’t mesh along with his employer-especially his direct supervisor, Bill O’Reilly.
So he did what any ambitious, career-driven person would do. He destroyed his career, spectacularly. He became Gawker’s so-called Fox Mole.
Joe’s posts on Gawker garnered more than 2.5 million hits in a single week. He released footage and details that Fox News never wanted revealed, including some extremely unflattering video footage of Mitt Romney. The dragnet shut around him quickly-he was terminated within thirty-six hours-so his greatest material never made it online. Regrettable for his career as the Fox Mole, but a treasure trove for reserve readers.
An Atheist in the FOXhole has everything that liberals and Fox haters could desire: information regarding how Fox’s right-wing ideology is promoted throughout the channel; why particular perspectives and personalities are the only types broadcasted; the bizarre tales Fox anchors in fact believed (and passed on to the public); and stories of behind-the-scenes mayhem and errors, all component of reporting Fox’s version of the news.
