At this time, Newscorp is being investigated for hacking into the phones of 911 victims. Bear in mind that this is just an investigation. Also bear in mind that FOX News has, in the past, paid out a total of $655 million in settlements stemming from claims of previous illegal activity. If the current investigation shows that 911 victims' phones were indeed hacked, this could very well be the end FOX News, as we know it. At this time, it looks like the Newscorp scandal has crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and is now sitting in our own laps, as well as in Britain, where the top 2 law enforcement officer has now resigned for taking bribes in exchange for information, which they gave to Newscorp.

Not only that, but the American people should give them this, for their unAmerican activities:

It seems to me the tactics and techniques employed by Fox News or rather News Corp are more in line with the National Socialists than other mass media producers and outlets.
 
Former FOX employee Dan Cooper's very entertaning "lengthy essay" has this about the Brain Room. How did Ailes find out about the interview Cooper gave, before it was published? How else? From the phone company! Ailes saw they had spoken on the phone and so it naturally follows that an interview occurred!


Then about himself, Cooper writes,

The truth is, I'm a bit of a narcissist, and I'm quite impressed with my own opinions. So I've always gotten myself in trouble with bosses. On the other hand, I'm really ****ing talented.

But it's not all deep investigative reporting. In a Chandler-wannabe whodunit style, at odds with a title borrowed from Burroughs, he sprinkles in bits of romantic intrigue, too.


DUNT dunt DUHHHHHH!
