Yesterday, I posted about a Fox News employee gone rogue and posting on Gawker from inside the belly of the beast. Today, Fox says it has identified the mole. UPDATE: Mole says otherwise!
Mediaite reports that a Fox spokesperson says it has uncovered the author's identity and is "exploring legal options at this time."
Lots of luck with that, Fox!
Meanwhile, the mole has posted a new story about Fox, this time focusing on the cheesiness of the equipment and even the toilets.
UPDATE: The Fox mole has subsequently posted on Gawker, saying, "I Am the Fox Mole, And I’m Still Here... If Fox has smoked me out, it's news to me. I'm still here. Back to work."
Stay tuned!

From 1996 to 2012 we’ve had only One Mole (that anyone knows about). That sez a lot for our Hiring Standards. We Hire Scum! Just ask Killer O’Reilly, he paid 2 million smackers to keep hiz name clean in a sexual harassment case – and he’s still Good To Go!

I’ll give an example – some years back, I was the one and only admin for the relatively small parent company of a large and rather famous corporation. The CEO’s secretary was a very sharp and smart young lady… wouldn’t have been in the position if she wasn’t. She called me in to try to clear a buttload of viruses on her machine, which little buggers were the result of a “fun” toolbar she’d installed on her browser. Took most of the day to clean the PC, and after explaining what it was that caused the issue, she asked me, “well, can I put it back on when you’re done?”
Says wonders for my patience and diplomatic skills that it was only my own forehead that I slapped…

And, gotta say that I’ve worked as an admin for a lot of companies, and lots of folks I’ve supported, while quite brilliant in all other respects, have been the biggest boneheads in existence with anything related to computers and IT concepts… again, just sayin’…
Aria, I would hope so… but, as the person went to work for Fox originally, not apparently in disagreement with their policies (I may be wrong, but the first article from the mole seems to indicate this), it’s not really a good case for his/her innate intelligence… just sayin’…
Paul, I’m sure he’s covering his bases. If Fox News went to the wrong guy, then he’s not using his own computer, at the very least.
I do hope the mole has been using another account, and another set of servers than those at Fox… not all that difficult for a network admin to check the logs.
If you don’t already know the story, Google “James Jesus Angleton” and read about how the CIA director of counter intelligence tore the Agency apart searching for Soviet moles who may – or may not – have actually been there.
US intelligence got Hamas to murder some of their own top people by manipulating bank accounts and making it appear some people where ripping off the organization from the inside. I believe they also did the same thing with Saddam Insane’s inner circle.
Nothing can collapse a organization faster than a search like this from within.

I love the Fox mole. Would love to read about some of the off-camera chats and commercial break talks between the talent and staff. Also would enjoy some production staff meeting chats. Keep up the good work Mr./Ms. Mole!!!!!!
Stay tuned!
