Default Fox News Farce


Joe Muto, the man better known as the "Fox News Mole," appeared on
HuffPost Live on Monday to dish some dirt about his former employers.

Back in April, Muto lit up the Internet with a series of anonymous
posts on Gawker that lifted the curtain on some of the goings-on at
Fox News. The network promptly fired him and sent the police after
him.

He talked to HuffPost Live host Abby Huntsman about how jaded some of
the behind-the-scenes talent at Fox News is.

"The people at Fox are not stupid," he said. "They know when they have
Dick Morris or one of these other pundits on predicting a landslide
victory for Romney, the people behind the scenes know that it's all
bluster. They know that this is sort of an entertainment. They know
that a lot of these people are just hucksters ... we producers know
that this is all a farce. The reason we don't step in and give a
reality check to our audience is because that's terrible for ratings."

Muto also talked about Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly and
Sean Hannity, and predicted that the network will sand down some of
its hard-right edges in coming years.
