(HE'S IN DEEP SHIT, BUT I LOVE AN INSIDER'S LOOK AT THOSE HYPOCRITES ON "FAUX NEWS". NOT VERY ETHICAL ON THIS WHISTLEBLOWER'S PART, BUT ETHICS IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH "FAUX NEWS" ANYWAY. I SEE IT AS A MUST READ)
(i'M PARAPHRASING):
ON AN INTERVIEW HE WAS ASKED ABOUT SARAH PALIN IN WHICH HE SAID SHE WAS ALWAYS UNPREPARED AND WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY-NOT THE SMARTEST WOMAN HE EVER MET. HE STATES THAT SHE WAS BASICALLY FIRED; HER CONTRACT NOT RENEWED.
HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT EVEN BILL O'REILLY WAS OVER HER. AND SPEAKING OF O'REILLY, HE IS NOT SURE BUT ASSUMES HIS SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL WITH ANDREA MACKIS WAS SETTLED OUT OF COURT WITH THE AID OF $$$$, AS MANY BELIEVED AT THE TIME AS WELL. THE TAPES WERE NEVER LEAKED AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD A PEEP OUTTA HER. IT TAKES BUCKSSSSS TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. HE SAYS "FAUX NEWS" PROBABLY FOOTED THE BILL SINCE O'REILLY IS THEIR BIGGEST rAGEAHOLIC, CASH COW.
WHO KNOWS? BUT IT'S NO SECRET THAT "FAUX NEWS" IS SLANTED WAY RIGHT-OFF THE CLIFF RIGHT...

NEW YORK (AP) — "Joe Muto has dealt with losing his job, losing his reputation and losing friends. The low point for the former Fox News Channel "mole" came three weeks ago, when he needed to be escorted from a holding cell in handcuffs to use the bathroom.
The ex-producer at Fox is still dealing with his spectacular flameout of April 2012. Muto, who worked on Bill O'Reilly's prime-time show, began writing an anonymous column for the Gawker website about what it was like for a liberal to work at Fox. His bosses blew his cover and fired him within 24 hours.
Muto did get a book deal out of the experience, though, and "An Atheist in the Foxhole" (Dutton) is being released Tuesday.
He also got a criminal record. In an agreement with the Manhattan district attorney, Muto pleaded guilty May 9 to two misdemeanors — attempted unlawful duplication of computer material and attempted criminal possession of computer material. He had copied two Fox outtakes to prove to Gawker that he worked there, and the website posted them. One showed Newt Gingrich's wife primping her husband's hair before an interview. Sean Hannity and Mitt Romney chatted about horses in the other.
The videos were what enabled Fox to identify Muto as the mole; their investigators found that someone with his computer sign-on was the only one to look at them recently in the network's archive.
Muto was sentenced to 10 days of court-ordered community service and 200 hours of private service that he will fulfill by working with a literacy organization in Brooklyn.
He was fined $1,000 and ordered to give to charity the $5,000 that Gawker had paid him..."
