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).
was it an AK47?
This will be a tough one. There will be some who sympathize with him for wanting to commit suicide due to FoxNews ruining his life.
Protesting Fox means he was a dumlib.
Shooting himself therefore raises the nation’s IQ by a small, but measurable amount.
I always worry about something like this or worse when I watch Fox and Friends with the camera view looking outside their window.
it’s been proven for generations that lefties and guns are a bad mix
Well....that’s a good start.
WOW...the O’Reiley Report really upset this guy...not fair and balanced enough I guess...or did Meghan Kelly get him stirred up enough to.....oh well
Never been there can those on the outside see in or is it like a 2 way mirror thing
7-second delay baby - it’s all good!
Was it Jay Carney?
That’ll teach them evil nazi jews at FOX.
I’m starting to like Fox again!
That’s what I was thinking, his wife caught him ‘watching’ Megyn in a late re-run.
He'd been there for hours, but most passersby just assumed Bob Beckel had fallen off the wagon...
Lefties are nuts. Their obsession with all things Fox News is ludicrous. And for one of them to shoot himself in protest? Man, that’s just pathetic.
Former Fox News employee...
That is why women don’t usually use a shotgun either.
Any way, a “small caliber hand gun” is any thing
smaller than .45...
Is he a flaming liberal? Maybe this will catch on, /S
Self-immolation isn’t a tradition in gun-happy America.
