Download An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal's Eight-Year Odyssey into the Heart of the Right-Wing Media AudioBook Free
The "Fox Mole" - whose dispatches for Gawker made headlines in Businessweek, The Hollywood Reporter, and even on The New York Times website - provides a funny, opinionated memoir of his eight years at the unfair, unbalanced Fox News Route working as a co-employee producer for Expenses O'Reilly. Consider needing to hide your true beliefs just to keep a job you hated. Now imagine your job was producing the largest show on the largest cable news channel in America, and you'll get a feeling of what life was like for Joe Muto. Being a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal, Joe's viewpoints obviously didn't mesh along with his employer - especially his immediate supervisor, Expenses O'Reilly. So he did what any ambitious, career-driven person would do. He damaged 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 desired open, including some extremely unflattering footage of Mitt Romney. The dragnet shut down around him quickly - he was fired within 36 hours - so his best material never made it online. Unfortunate for his career as the Fox Mole, but a treasure trove for publication listeners. An Atheist in the FOXhole has anything that liberals and Fox haters could desire: details about how Fox's right-wing ideology is advertised throughout the channel; why specific sides and personalities will be the only ones broadcasted; the bizarre testimonies Fox anchors actually presumed (and passed on to the general public); and tales of behind-the-scenes mayhem and faults, all part of confirming Fox's version of the news.
