Fox says Friedman shouldn't have broken the law in the service of a story. But the company's concern with journalistic ethics seems as suspicious as it is sudden. After all, Fox News' Shep Smith wasn't fired when he was arrested for running over a competing reporter with his car so he could snag parking space. When Bill O'Reilly's former producer accused the Fox News host of sexual harassment, producing lengthy conversation transcripts O'Reilly never denied, sibling publication the New York Post slammed her in a story headlined "'Lunatic' O'Reilly Gal Went Nuts in Bar." O'Reilly settled the suit and, of course, retains his job. And Fox is unrepentant about stalking a liberal blogger, sending a camera crew to tail her from her apartment across state lines to Virginia.
