It looks like Fox News is out to make a example out of Joe Muto the outed. Fox News Mole to other Fox News employees who might also hate spreading distortions and personal attacks as their work, by getting Muto charged with Grand Larceny.
Fox mole alleges visit by authorities
By Erik Wemple
And in case there’s another Fox Newser considering a similar moonlighting gig, that person should consider the tweets that Muto broadcast just this morning:
I just got search warranted at 6:30am by a very polite crew from the DA’s office. Took my iPhone, laptop, some old notebooks.
Plus this:
According to the warrant, Fox News is apparently accusing me of grand larceny, amongst other things.
And this:
I should have done something more innocuous, like hacked a dead girl’s phone and interfered with a police investigation.
Upshot: There will be no more moles at Fox News.
I LIKE MUTO's DEFIANCE! Joe sticks it to Fox News even as he is being targeted by their best shot.
You have to admire that.
Gawker has a copy of the search warrant here.
