Here's an interesting bit of Fox News skullduggery from David Folkenflik's new book on Rupert Murdoch's media empire, courtesy of Media Matters:

In a chapter focusing on how Fox utilized its notoriously ruthless public relations department in the mid-to-late 00's, Folkenflik reports that Fox's PR staffers would "post pro-Fox rants" in the comments sections of "negative and even neutral" blog posts written about the network. According to Folkenflik, the staffers used various tactics to cover their tracks, including setting up wireless broadband connections that "could not be traced back" to the network.

From the book itself:

Fox PR staffers were expected to counter not just negative and even neutral blog postings but the anti-Fox comments beneath them. One former staffer recalled using twenty different aliases to post pro-Fox rants. Another had one hundred. Several employees had to acquire a cell phone thumb drive to provide a wireless broadband connection that could not be traced back to a Fox News or News Corp account.

Folkenflik's book has already roiled News Corp with its account of Wall Street Journal staffers who found their attempts to report on the company's phone hacking scandal met with roadblock after roadblock. (The company denied the account.)

yep,according to Soros' HuffPo!

Can this conversation go beyond that of a ten year old? My adult brain says Fox news would sue if the story were false.....Next...

Why would they sue?

Do you really think that these blogs by liberal bloggers really hurt them?

If anything it stirs up controversy and draws people to Fox of which some regardless of their reason become fans.

This only makes Fox "news" more money, so why should they sue?

The article is about a book that was written and published. I think that is evident in the post no?

And absolutely they would sue. I will translate for you if English is difficult.

On what planet would people be drawn to a news source that creates its own sock puppets to spin stories? Any thinking person would be turned off by this.

You of all people trying to talk down to me is cute.

Huff post is owned by AOL. I would suggest it is not owned by Soros so I fail to see what you find funny. What I find funny is the lack of information.

So what did you not understand from my post?

really? just like MSNBC and CNN did the same thing?

don't watch any mainstream news, they all lie

I understood everything, you however obviously cannot comprehend English when its written out in black and white.

Exactly what part of "If anything it stirs up controversy and draws people to Fox of which some regardless of their reason become fans." did you not comprehend, understand or get?

lol, he doesn't understand he's actually advertising for fox now...lol

Oh I get it Folks are going to flock to fox news because they pay sock puppets to post pro fox comments on the internet and this somehow is good for Fox news.

The logic escapes my adult brain.

Whatever lady.

well, thats not surprising...

Yep,and your Hero Soros owns all of it,the whole Kit and Caboodle!
That's what's so funny!
