"People need to start getting canned over the [Seth Rich] thing," an employee told CNN. "What a mess."
"They don't want to acknowledge that they f**ked up," a senior Fox News employee said, explaining that either a top editor didn't see the story before publication, as would be typical procedure, or a top editor saw the article and approved it. "Both situations are really bad."
These are just some of the more printable comments from Fox tabloid employees who are absolutely disgusted with the continuing stream of lies coming from the organization about the fake Seth Rich story.
More than two months ago, on May 23, FoxNews.com deleted a story that suggested Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks before his death. The story rested on quotes from Rod Wheeler, a Fox News contributor and former homicide detective hired to investigate the unsolved murder on behalf of the Rich family. He was quoted in that article saying there was evidence showing Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks.
But the article upon which all this coverage was based fell apart within hours of its publication, when Wheeler contradicted aspects of it in an interview with CNN. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Wheeler said the Fox News reporter who wrote the article, Malia Zimmerman, who did not respond to requests for comment, fabricated the quotes she attributed to him -- a major violation of the most basic journalism principles, if true.
That Zimmerman is still putting out fake stories shows clearly the Fox tabloid has no desire to change the charade of it appearing to be legitimate news organization. A senor Fox employee summed up the fake "news" organizations modus operandi:
"I think the lack of transparency is not that surprising," the senior Fox News employee said. "But it really forces the question, how much journalistic integrity does Fox News really have? Because most other news outlets, these situations come up, but they are dealt with appropriately. People are held accountable. People are fired, they are disciplined or whatever. But this is like classic Fox. No one ever gets fired from Fox for publishing a story that isn't true."
