Hi Roger. It’s Me, Joe: The Fox Mole

Gawker:

Hi. My name is Joe Muto. I was the Fox Mole.

Two hours ago I was called into a meeting with Dianne Brandi, the Fox News Executive Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs and suspended indefinitely... with pay, oddly enough.

Could Fox's action have anything to do with this embarassing video of Romney prepping for an interview with Sean Hannity?

He just started being a mole because he was pissed at being stuck there. He thought when he took the job it would be a start of a career, just using them for experience. So trying to work up from there he sent out resumes - nothing...year after year...he discovered that no one else in the industry really wanted to hire someone that works at Fox. So he got mad and decided to do what he did. Well, now he's been fired and he's got publicity...he can likely get a job now with someone that hates Fox and likes what he did.
