A man protesting Fox News shot himself in the chest and was critically injured Monday outside of the News Corp. building in midtown, authorities and sources said.

The man, who was not identified, was found just before 9 a.m. sitting slumped outside of the building on Sixth Avenue and West 47th Street, cops and witnesses said.

Police at the scene said that the man apparently shot himself with a small-caliber pistol, which was found on the ground next to him. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition, cops said.

Prior to the shooting, the man was heard protesting Fox News, saying that the news channel ruined his life, a source said.

Security guards asked the man to leave and when they turned around to walk back inside, they heard a gunshot, the source said.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, had what appeared to be a suicide note in his pocket, the source added.

Hmmmm. Usually it is women who shoot themselves in the chest. (A vanity thing—leaves a better looking corpse).

He is in deep trouble since it is illegal to have a firearm in New York City. For the most part

It is illegal to commit suicide in New York City. Though to my knowledge no one has ever been prosecuted for this particular crime.

Instead of gun buybacks, it is too bad there isn’t a “gun giveout” program to supply guns to suicidal lefties.

Probably a left-wing nutjob like the guy who killed himself in the restroom attached to Richard Mellon Scaife’s office about fifteen years ago.

If he doesn’t have any kids, can we recommend a Darwin award? As a humanoid Leftist, it’s not like he’s of any benefit to civilization...

How did FoxNews “ruin his life”? By informing him that his Progressive fairy tales were lies?

To prevent copycat shootings, News Corp needs to relocate away from New York City to some place that deranged lefties can't find.

Maybe Toad Suck, Arkansas.
