Faux Snooze Has The Cooties

Bedbugs at Fox News

The New York Times - Arts
By JACQUES STEINBERG
Published: March 18, 2008



Who brought the bedbugs to work???

While grappling with MSNBC and CNN for viewers, Fox News has also been battling a smaller, more insidious enemy closer to home: bed bugs in its Midtown Manhattan newsroom. In an interview on Monday, Warren Vandeveer, senior vice president for operations and engineering at Fox News, said the cable channel had realized it had a problem a few weeks ago, when an employee “caught a bug and showed it to us.

An exterminator determined that the incursion was limited to a “very small area in the newsroom.” But the source of the bugs was not determined until the exterminator inspected the homes of about 20 employees. Mr. Vandeveer said the exterminator later described one employee’s home as having “the worst infestation he had seen in 25 years in the business.

After making large bags available for employees to stash their belongings, and replacing a number of fabric-covered desk chairs, Mr. Vandeveer said that the treatments had ended about a week ago, and that the problem had been contained. “It’s totally eradicated,” he said.

- I thought the old saying was: "when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas?!?!?" Well, I'm putting my money on Bill O'Reilly as the source. Since both he and bedbugs live by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded hosts....

15. Well, it could be....
...but I'm almost certain its Bill O'Reilly. I think they're his pets. A dog would bite him, and then piss on him before he left. And a cat wouldn't be caught dead in his house. Its probably the only animal that will stick around with his ass. And that's only because he gives them his putrid blood.

- The poor ass suckers....

And having your coworkers know who it was :rofl:

Hannity must be so embarrassed!

5. Village Voice said employee had been fired
ok, who's left Faux Snooze?

Fox says the problem has been eradicated but only after exterminators visited the homes of 20 Fox employees and determined that one person was the carrier. Gawker is reporting that the offending employee has been fired.

21. Well, if they fired someone back then....
...it must have been the wrong person if they've fired someone again for the same problems.

I keep saying its got to be O'Reilly. It just goes to show that they'll infest the whole network for ratings from the retards that watch him....

24. "All the news that's fit to print"
- Now if they'll just dig a little further, you know, like they did with that governor/prostitute story and tell us which newscaster it is.

For public health reasons, of course....

12. Please don't put down the poor bugs, even they deserve better this
I personally would rather befriend a cockroach then get anywhere near the likes of Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly and the rest of the dumb and ditzy so called newscasters/journalists at that hell hole.
