Product details
The "Fox Mole"Nwhose dispatches for Gawker have made headlines in "Businessweek," "The Hollywood Reporter," and "The New York Times"Ndelivers a funny, opinionated memoir of his eight years at the unfair, unbalanced Fox News Channel working for Bill O'Reilly. The Fox Mole whose dispatches for Gawker made headlines in" Businessweek," "The Hollywood Reporter," and even on "The New York Times "website delivers a funny, opinionated memoir of his eight years at the unfair, unbalanced Fox News Channel working as an associate producer for Bill O'Reilly.
Imagine needing to hide your true beliefs just to keep a job you hated. Now imagine your job was producing the biggest show on the biggest cable news channel in America, and you ll get a sense of what life was like for Joe Muto. As a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal, Joe s viewpoints clearly didn t mesh 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 one week. He released footage and information that Fox News never wanted exposed, including some extremely unflattering footage of Mitt Romney. The dragnet closed around him quickly he was fired within thirty-six hours so his best material never made it online. Unfortunate for his career as the Fox Mole, but a treasure trove for book readers.
"An Atheist in the FOXhole" has everything that liberals and Fox haters could desire: details about how Fox s right-wing ideology is promoted throughout the channel; why specific angles and personalities are the only ones broadcasted; the bizarre stories Fox anchors actually believed (and passed on to the public); and tales of behind-the-scenes mayhem and mistakes, all part of reporting Fox s version of the news."
