Exclusive: Korb "Looked Forward To Every Day At FOX" David Korb called himself a "loyal, respectful worker" who had "a lot more to give" to FOX News Channel -- just three months before the freelance writer criticized the network in the film "Outfoxed." CableNewser has obtained three e-mails relating to Korb's termination. In an e-mail sent on March 1, 2004, Korb appealed his termination to an executive producer at FOX News. "I want you to know that I will greatly miss being a member of the Fox News team," Korb wrote, and asked if an appeal would be considered. "I've got a lot more to give to FNC," he said. "You won't find a more loyal, respectful worker on the planet." A second e-mail, dated February 23, 2004, is a message from a FOX producer to a vice president describing Korb's performance. "This is the writer who probably causes me more headaches than any other," the producer wrote. Another e-mail, sent by a copy editor four days later, said he was careless and had an attitude problem. Korb was one of four former employees to speak at the press conference yesterday. According to his biography, "he has done freelance work for dozens of television stations and television news programs in New York City and San Francisco," and is also "an independent producer and director of documentary films." 5:14:24 PM

This is just a hair's breadth from having no career at all.
Sounds like a nice kid, but he was running with a pretty fast crowd, I guess.
Doesn't necessarily mean he meant it; people in danger of losing their jobs have been known to crawfish before. And managers have been known to blacken troublesome ex-employee's reputations with backdated 'documents' before, too.
"...and after this little incident, will continue his very independent career..."
Good riddance. Why should Fox continue to employ someone who is disloyal, indiscreet and who holds them up to ridicule in such a public arena?
Well, if he is any good at faking stuff, the NYT may be hiring.
He's an effin' freak.
OH MY EYES!
Good Googamooga who would hire a freak that looked like that in the first place.
He might ask Kerry for a job on his campaign staff,He looks like he would fit right in.
Who are the others who trashed Fox. My spouse and I are guessing a quite well known blonde ???
Come on, you guys, tell, tell!
Greta replaced her at FNC.
Fits right in with the New York City and San Francisco freakazoid crowd.
That guy has a face only a mother could love, and only on payday.
