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."
"It is another blow to journalists at Fox who come in every day wanting to cover the news in a fair and objective way," one senior Fox News employee told CNN of their outlet's coverage, adding that there were "many eye rolls" in the newsroom over how the news was covered.
The person said, "Fox feels like an extension of the Trump White House."
The employees spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. A Fox News spokesperson told CNN the network covered the breaking news accurately and fairly across both news and opinion programming.
The article goes on to reveal that though Fox did cover the recent indictments they did not focus on them, and instead spent a lot of time on the NFL protests, North Korea, and Trump's tax plan, while also airing pieces that questioned Muller's credibility.
My friend emailed me last night and insists that at least one of these nameless folks in the piece above is most likely Shep Smith, who must be constantly cursing under his breath all day long about now.
Fortunately for conservatives in "the bubble" this is coming from CNN so Donald Trump will just dismiss it as "fake news."
Doesn't your heart go out to employees of Fux News who feel so bad about the shit they do that they want to quit?
ReplyDeleteNot mine. Fuck them all.
It's funny what you'll suffer for a paycheck.
ReplyDeleteWho is your friend and how would they know?
ReplyDeleteHow is that any of our business?
DeleteFuck all of them. They knew what they were getting into.
ReplyDeleteHuh. I just assumed that anyone who worked at Fox News was incapable of embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteNO person with decency or ethics would work for such a scumbag lying media brainwashing outfit. And most people would not watch it. But with just the small percentage of American voters that do? Damaging!!! Friends and Family watch these people as their only news source. It has changed them and it breaks down years of friendship and trust. They became radicalized by fox, rush, brifart, jones, nra etc. I am not quite sure why anyone would want to divide and harm usa citizens in any manner as trump foundation, kkk terrorist etc. have today. It will stop. Lets hope soon.
ReplyDeleteI am not quite sure why anyone would want to divide and harm usa (sic) citizens"...
DeleteIt's because "Divide and conquer" is a valid type of warfare, and Putin would like nothing better than the country which has inspired 241 years of striving for better lives for others should lose it's value. He's a perfect tsar, and would happily pillage every country he could get into. We discount him at our peril.
Shepherd Smith is gay but that's the only issue he's liberal about, so he's a typical Republican who only has compassion on issues that affect him and has a fuck you attitude toward anyone or anything else.
ReplyDeleteBut not embarrassed and humiliated enough to quit, right?
ReplyDeleteSorta like Flake, Corker and McCain talking a good game but still voting along party lines for every piece of shit McConnell puts in front of them.
And what is it with TIM KAINE!? Voting to put that anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ Bitch on the circuit court bendh for life? I didn’t like him as Hillary’s running mate and now I know why.
