Fox News Just Axed Its Investigative Unit, Sources Say

[Ohio Joe]

The fallout from Fox News’ $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems continued on Friday, with the network dissolving its investigative unit.

“The rank and file journalists are getting let go meanwhile upper management are sitting pretty while they are the execs responsible for the Dominion debacle,” one Fox employee tells Rolling Stone, which has confirmed the unit has been axed. “We are the sacrificial lambs.”

“Yes, [layoffs] have happened,” another staffer confirms. “And continue to happen.”

To be fair... Their 'investigative unit' did not do anything anyway

[Ocelot II]

1. What investigative unit? Did they ever have one?

[Hortensis]

2. Lol. They need to cut costs and this is an obvious place to start.

[Scrivener7]

3. They're all named O'Keefe, right?

[CatWoman]

4. LOL!!!!

[Ray Bruns]

5. Fox News had an investigative unit? You could have fooled me.

[FrankBooth]

6. Rank and file journalists? Right

If you work for Fox, you are a polemicist, not a journalist. The only so-called "investigating" that propaganda outfit does is to dox teachers who are sympathetic to students that FOX doesn't like. FOX is scum and anyone who willingly takes a job there deserves their fate.

7. I got a free subscription the other day for FOX nation.

Basically it's a revisionist history channel. We actually won the Korean and Vietnam war, but the liberal politicians canceled the money needed to fight the war. I thought to myself conservatives think that if we had dropped 20 billion tons of bombs in Korea and Vietnam we would have won!

11. Didn't Nixon pull out of Vietnam lol

I guess Dick Nixon is a liberal by today's standards

[Sam_Fields]

13. Yeah, but Nixon shouldn't have resigned over impeachment!

He would have defeated the impeachment trial in the Senate!

[Trenzalore]

19. Sad thing is with the partisan nature of today

Nixon wouldn't resign. He would survive an impeachment trial if the scandal was today.

8. OH NO! Now how will we find out about

Benghazi???!!1!11!

[lpbk2713]

9. Instead of going out and looking for stories ...

they'll just have to make shit up.

But then ... is that any different from what they have been doing?

[Martin68]

10. Perhaps the "investigative unit" would have been better named the propaganda generation unit.

[underpants]

12. Damn! Who's going to find Comer's whistleblower now?!???

[gratuitous]

14. Dear soon-to-be former Fox employees

Did you really and truly think that because you worked in the belly of the beast that you were safe from the vulture capitalism your employer so gleefully extols? "Oh sure, we laughed at those factory workers as they walked out of the plant for the last time because the company relocated to Mexico. But we never thought it could be us walking out of the building forever. Everyone, feel sorry for us!"

I'll feel as sorry for you as you felt for your employer's other victims. That seems fair and balanced, yes?

[live love laugh]

15. I just KNEW that headline came from The Onion.

[badhair77]

16. Who are these "investigators?"

I’m not seeing any names, much less any I would recognize.

[hatrack]

17. What, they fired both reporters?!!??

How sad!
