You'll never convince the true believers that this isn't some nefarious liberal plot to get the truthful, fair, and balanced Fox News off the air.

Usually the case. Employees keep silent because they need to keep their jobs and if they quit, they still need references, etc.

It takes guts to be a whistleblower.

BFD. If computers, email accounts, cellphones, etc. existed in 1900, don't you for one minute think that William Randolph Hearst wouldn't be up to his neck in the kind of crap NewsCorp pulled. You provide the copy, and I'll provide the war.

Exactly. Because, in an alternate universe, another bad person would have done much the same thing, this is a non-story. This is also why "The Silence of the Lambs" means Jeffrey Dahmer should have been let go.

What's the harm? It's kinda hard to check your voicemail for messages when you're dead.

Actually I want to see if the FCC put thier money where there mouth is and pull the Fox license. Because that means no broadcasting of half the weekly NFL games.Not to mention OH NOES NOT AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Although they did say that would be the outcome if evidence of 9/11 voicemail hacking was proved. And this story has no mention of that.

See? As long as it's hands off the sacred 9/11 cow, all is forgiven. Hack away, Murdoch.

Never -- AFAIK, the FCC has no authority over pay TV channels carried on private services.

The DOJ, on the other hand...

To the dismay of some pf our more mouth-breather Fark Liberals....real conservatives do not waste their time with Fox News. Fox viewers are either Phony Con Republican or mouth-breather liberals who will deny they actually watch Faux News

Would love to see Faux News go down for this. And, painfully, too

Unless someone does check your voicemail, and when they find voicemails deleted, they think you're still alive, because some reporter deleted your voicemails.....

Wasn't that what happened? Is everyone in here trolling?
