Former Executives Describe Organized Espionage Inside Fox News

Allegations by a former Fox executive who helped launch the conservative propaganda media outlet suggests that the network run by Roger Ailes, a political operative from the Reagan era, hacked into competitors communications and routinely read emails from employees. The network denies these charges but the FBI is investigating whether News Corp employees hacked into 9/11 victim families private phones and, as apples don't fall far from the tree, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox has engaged in similarly unethical and despicable activities.

  1. Nothing would surprise me from FOX. While it seems to me unlikely that American reporters would hack 911 victims, Murdoch has shown himself perfectly willing to hire thugs to do his dirty work.
