“Hilariously details the inner workings of the cable news network.” —The Daily Beast After college, Joe Muto—a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal—took an entry-level position at Fox News. Joe kept quiet about his political views and initially enjoyed the newsroom camaraderie. But after he began working for Bill O’Reilly—Fox’s number one talking head—Joe just couldn’t take it anymore. He went rogue by becoming Gawker’s Fox Mole, and was outed (and fired) in thirty-six hours. Reminiscent of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, An Atheist in the FOXhole is filled with hilarious, untold tales that will appall and delight the millions who love to hate FOX news.

There were some good stuff in here about what it was like to work for O'Reilly, but some of the other information were not necessarily new (even for a 2012 book). Muto also wrote about the aftermath of the mole incident which I thought was interesting. My biggest issue with this book were the unnecessary tangents, details and personal stories, and I would either skim or skip through them. And there were quite a few of those. A chunk of the information/analysis of Fox News could have been assessed by an outsider, so the book didn't need it. Also, definitely don't judge the book by its cover. Maybe I was being a little naive, but I was expecting more of a behind the scenes look at the characters. We get that for O'Reilly, but for the rest, not so much. There were a couple of pages on Coulter, which didn't reveal anything crazy and a few for Beck and Rivera.
