Fox News mole has been dug up; Update: Or HAS it?

In case you missed it, Gawker published its first dispatch yesterday from its “mole” at Fox News headquarters in New York. This was riveting stuff, and Gawker was pleased as punch with itself.

Today, we were treated to an exposé on the Fox News bathrooms.

Well, unfortunately for Gawker, it looks like the jig might be up.

A Fox News spokesperson revealed to Mediaite and told us that they have already discovered the mole’s identity.

Here is the brief statement from the spokesperson:

“We found the person and we’re exploring legal options at this time.”

And Twitter was all over it:

Update:

Hmmm … the person calling him or herself the “mole” has just put up another post claiming he or she has yet to be outed.

Are you convinced the mole remains underground?

In any event, we’re pretty the actual dirt dug up by an actual mole would be a lot more interesting than anything Gawker’s “insider” has to say.

Doesn’t the mole know that he/she should be leaking stuff that makes Fox look like the 1 percent, not the 99 percent?

CRAPPY BATHROOMS = wrong message
