Funny you should mention that. I had a phone chat with my friend who does bumper music for Fox News today.

He was hooked up for the music gig with a high school friend of his, who was personally brought into Fox News at the outset by Roger Ailes. The guy had it made, making in excess of a million a year running the arm of Fox News that handles music for all the shows.

My friend said the guy has been on edge since Ailes got the boot, and he got called into a high-level meeting this week, with FN upper management, Uncle Rupert and his sons. He was told that the company was dismissing everyone brought into the company by Ailes, and they offered him a very generous severance package worth roughly 3/4 of a million dollars. He thought he’d be shrewd and drive for a better deal, so he turned the severance package down thinking he could negotiate more money out of them.

Nope. As soon as he turned down the package they told him that he’d get nothing, called security and had them escort him out of the building. They didn’t even let him clear out his office, they just dumped him on the sidewalk.

They seem to be bending over backwards to get the Sky deal done, so maybe your wish fulfillment isn’t too far out of the realm of possibility.
