Some employees at Fox News were left embarrassed and humiliated by their network's coverage of the latest revelations in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling, according to conversations CNN had with several individuals placed throughout the network.
"I'm watching now and screaming," one Fox News personality said in a text message to CNN as the person watched their network's coverage. "I want to quit."

Asshole.

(12,157 posts)Most of these people are under contract. 2 things to think about are a "No compete clause" of maybe 12 months after the contract is terminated. The second are early termination penalties.
These people may have sold their souls to the devil and there are consequences for doing so.

(63,216 posts)It's not as though Fox only recently started catapulting the bullshit propaganda; that's been their M.O. since day one. Anyone who has signed on since then can't claim innocence; they took a job with a lie factory, and now they're squeamish about it? Bullshit!
They want it both ways: they want to take their paycheck, and they want to complain about the injustice of it all. If they feel that bad about it, they should donate their salaries to Planned Parenthood or the NAACP.

If they are not permitted to report the truth then they should also report that. Good reporters are hard to find.

(1,009 posts)doesn't solve the problem. Someone who's not willing to admit the propaganda & more willing to participate just fills the void.
Boycotting ad sponsors of shows like Hannity however is a better solution. There should be a GrabYourWallet campaign against Hannity & every show like him. This is actually serious, and being an arm of the Trump admin is seriously distorting reality to a large percentage of our population.
I wish people would go on the record - at least ex employees. Because the ones watching Fox just don't often believe "anonymous sources" (from CNN no less).
