In less than 24 hours, Fox News has fired Joe Muto, formerly an associate producer at The O’Reilly Factor, for his role as The Fox Mole on Gawker.com.
Joe Muto is fired effective April 12. Once the network determined that Mr. Muto was the main culprit in less than 24 hours, he was suspended late today while we pursued concurrent avenues. We are continuing to explore legal recourse against Mr. Muto and possibly others.
