DESCRIPTION:
Behind enemy lines Joe Muto is a midwestern guy who grew up with dreams of moving to the Big Apple & establishing a career. Unfortunately, his only "shot" of getting his proverbial foot in the door is to become an employee of FOX News. As a Liberal, this is quite a complex and convol. Behind the Secret Screen at (FNC) Fox News Channel Bob Baker Having been in the television business for 35 years, I've been fascinated with FNC since the day it went on the air.

Imagine needing to hide your true beliefs just to keep a job you hated. The dragnet closed around him quickly - he was fired within 36 hours - so his best material never made it online. As a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal, Joe's viewpoints clearly didn't mesh with his employer - especially his direct supervisor, Bill O'Reilly. He became Gawker's so-called Fox Mole. An Atheist in the FOXhole has everything that liberals and Fox haters could desire: details about how Fox's right-wing ideology is promoted throughout the channel; why specific angles and personalities are the only ones broadcasted; the bizarre stories Fox anchors actually believed (and passed on to the public); and tales of behind-the-scenes mayhem and mistakes, all part of reporting Fox's version
