But...this just might be too big to sweep under the rug.
Especially if they want to maintain that extremely thin and ridiculous veneer of "Fair and Balanced".
I dare say that Murdoch, Ailes, and the Saudi guy might just throw him under the bus if it threatens their operation.

Parked on his lawn last night, and claimed they have Rigged the election for 2016 in favor or Democrats, and Fox News executives would never bat an eyelash.

Thom's teleprompter is too far away!
He squints when broadcasting the story,
but not when interviewing.
Sorry, but it is a bit distracting.

Enjoy Thom otherwise

"They don't use rubber bullets . . . they use real bullets." -- O'Reilly when speaking on this subject, more than once

He doesn't seen to be aware of this. Any war correspondent who also covers anti-government riots, by whatever name he calls them, should be aware of this.

The utility of rubber bullets is they do not ricochet off walls, reducing the chance that an innocent bystander will be hit. The downside is that they do more damage to a living organism when they hit one, regardless of whether the living organism is a bomb-throwing terrorist or an innocent bystander or a stray cat.
