Report: FOX Mole’s Book Digs Dirt On FNC

Joe Muto, the Fox News Channel producer who was outed in April 2012 for writing posts and leaking unused Fox News video clips to Gawker, was uncovered by the network and fired only 36 hours after the first leak.

Now, “An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal’s 8-year Odyssey Inside the Heart of the Right-Wing Media,” will be released on June 4. In it, Muto chronicles what really goes on with Fox chief Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, among others.

“I’m guessing they’re not thrilled with this book,” he told NYDaily News Confidenti@l. “It wasn’t my idea to get fired in a blaze of glory.”

But he did — and he knows all the secrets.

A former producer for “The O’Reilly Factor,” Muto says he still has nightmares about his old boss.  “Bill does a lot of yelling and ridiculing,” he said. “We’d have pitch meetings twice a week, he’d stand us up in a row and shoot down our ideas one by one and laugh at us.”

Sarah Palin: “She is every bit as good-looking, and is also every bit as dumb, as they say,” he says. “We knew immediately it was not working out with her.”
