For almost eight years, Joe Muto worked for Fox News Channel. He spent much of that time as a producer for conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly. But Muto didn’t share the political opinions of his boss or his employer. He was an Obama-loving, godless, bleeding-heart liberal. In a new book, Muto takes us behind the scenes at Fox News to reveal the inner-workings of one of America’s most popular media outlets, how it drives a message and how fair and balanced its approach really is. Muto’s book is called An Atheist in the Foxhole, and he joins us on Thursday to talk about it.
