The Fox News mole apparently has enough secrets to spill that it's worth a six-figure book deal. Joe Muto will get an advance in the "low six figures" from publisher Dutton for the upcoming Atheist in the Foxhole, reports Gawker, where Muto-as-mole first surfaced. Dutton says the book will describe how the "liberal" Muto took a job at Fox and stayed, much to his own surprise, for eight years. He ended up "working as a producer for Bill O'Reilly, a man with 'fair and balanced' views that made Muto cringe on a daily basis." (More Joe Muto stories.)
