Here are some quotes from Fox News employees concerning the network’s Trump/Russia propaganda as told to CNN:

“I’m watching now and screaming. I want to quit.”

….

“It is another blow to journalists at Fox who come in every day wanting to cover the news in a fair and objective way.”

Ya I think the rest of us can hum a few bars. Like since 1996.

Gimme a break, shocked and horrified Fox News employee speaking off the record.

Plenty of GOPers in congress are mad as hell at Dotard, but they would never think of impeaching him. I mean, Flake quits because he can't take it anymore, and he's regarded as a "hero"?! When the entire staff at Faux Nooze rises up in rebellion, takes over the station, and starts broadcasting actual news, then I will applaud their efforts. Until then, they are still part of the problem.

They roll their eyes and make all kind of gestures when they have to read a piece on him...

That's my take, anyway. They would rather quit or go down with the ship than speak up against the fake news. And here's the thing. Let's just suppose Mueller got fired and the whole Russia investigation went away. Would these same reporters still be upset? Could they keep working for Faux then? I have this feeling that they are completely fine working for the devil so long as the devil is winning. The investigation spells the end for the right, and they start to get concerned.

Look, I'm fine with them saying bad things about Dotard and/or Faux Nooze. It's just that I'm not going to absolve them of their complicity up to this point.
