WASHINGTON — A Fox News Channel producer has been arrested and arraigned on child pornography charges in a federal courthouse in Washington.

More can be ascertained here. Warning. This is VERY detailed and VERY graphic.

[GeronL]

maybe Obama will nominate him for a federal position?

[ketsu]

What slime. Can we outsource his trial to China? They could put him to good use as an art exhibit(”This is what a child pornographer looks like on the inside!”).

[GeronL]

shoot him dead

[Redcloak]

Only if he’s also a tax cheat.

[Der_Hirnfänger]

What do you bet this will get trumpeted all over the place in order to slam Fox News?

[GeronL]

of course

[LuxMaker]

I say that if he is found guilty in court that all his assets should be seized and given to victims of this abuse.

[Yaelle]

Thank you for the warning. I looked anyway. How I wish there were death penalty for the people who did this to little children. I could pull the switch any time, just call me.

This sick [expletive] should be put away for a long time for even wanting to LOOK at these crimes against children. Because of the “desires” of [again, horrible expletive]s like him, children are abducted, raped, and murdered all the time in this world.

If only he could receive some of what was depicted on his lovely downloads. I will buy the duct tape.

This is the second time Bruns has been arrested for possessing vile images. In July 1999, Bruns, then 19, pleaded guilty in Michigan (where he was enrolled in college) to distributing child pornography over the Internet. He was sentenced to three years probation. Bruns was collared in the earlier case after a Florida law enforcement official discovered his illicit online activities. When police raided Bruns's University of Michigan dorm room, they discovered about 6000 pornographic images of children on his computer's hard drive.

Fox News obviously did a poor job vetting this animal before they hired him.
In fact, I would probably fire whoever hired him.

[rfreedom4u]

The only position for him should be bent over a sink in prison.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Fox news is now like Larry Craig: Claiming innocence, claiming to not be radical leaning, claiming the mantel of propriety on Conservative TV. When will the foot tapping end?

[Guht]

What upsets me so much is the fact that he was even able to get a job with Fox. I hold them to a higher standard. The article notes that this was not his first time that he was caught for this.

Disgusting.

Kiddie porn prosecuted in Boston? I thought that was San Francisco - East?

Ugh, the guy should have been locked up right then and there. It’s one thing to get probation at 19 for shoplifting or passing a bad check (not that those are good things to be doing), it’s another to let a pedophile off the hook. The kid who bounces a bad check can be straightened out and become a good citizen. The 19 year old who has thousands of images of child pornography on his computer (and feels it’s okay to share those images with others), is a deviant that can be contained, but rarely if ever cured.

I also gotta wonder if he hid the details of his conviction from FOX or other employers. No way I’d knowingly hire a guy like that.

Fox News still has O’Reilly. Not quite as pervy as this POS but still a perv

Let me glom onto this post rather than do a vanity and thereby incur the wrath of hell as expressed by FReepers! John Gibson is another Fox news on-air host. He also has a radio show daily. I catch his program when it's re-run at midnight in my market. That's great because it lets me catch Rush at noon and then Gibson while I'm up late working on photos from my shoots during the day. Please do not think me a shill for his program. I am a listener, no more no less. Anyway, his second hour for Feb. 11th was the best single hour of talk radio I have ever heard, including my 20 years of being a Ditto Head! He had a liberal talk show guy on and the exchange, debate, between them was awesome. It was so good that I sat down and sent him an email to express how much I enjoyed it. Here is the text of that email:

John Gibson,

Wow!

God bless you, John Gibson! Your back-and-forth with Ellis was the single BEST exchange I have EVER heard on the topic! Period. Better than Rush has ever done when it comes to being in the face with an liberal/Obama apologist!

John, if we had had that kind of in-your-face, oh-no-you-don't confrontation with liberals and MSM schills during the campaign we wouldn't have the disaster that is the Obama presidency. My hat is off to you.

I am a self-employed, full time, professional freelance photographer. To hear your show I have to be up between midnight and 3 am, Eastern time, since that's when AM860-WGUL replays your program. I make it a point to catch it every night, usually when I'm up editing pictures from a shoot that day. Being a full time, professional freelance shooter is a tough way to make a living these days. Having your program to listeb to while I do what, in the pre-digital days, was darkroom work is a blessing indeed.

Keep up the good work! Sean Hannity also uses the in-your-face approach with his guests sometimes, but you seem to do it without the vitriol that Sean frequently lets show through.

Again, a million thanks! I am off to get a premium membership to your website just to be able to listen to that exchange again!

I know it costs $5 a month to have access to the podcast of his programs, but I have no qualms commending this particular broadcast to FReepers. I would love to put an mp3 of that hour on my website, but that would be a copyright violation and, more than that, not fair to John Gibson. If you want to spend a few bucks to see approach, IMHO, the conservative cause is going to have to embrace if we are to take our country back, then sign up for a month and listen to this hour. In the second half-hour he talks about the guy Obama has chosen as his Sec. of Education. Wow. This too is a must-hear if you share my absolute disgust with Team Obama. Here's a link to the homepage of his site:

Although I don't want to upload the hour to my website if anyone is interested I would be glad to send them an excerpt from it so you can 'try before you buy'. Just drop me an email.

Seriously, as bad as this Producer is, John Gibson is just as great.

[beckett]

The Smoking Gun affidavit from the Washington detective contains some of the most revolting and upsetting stuff I’ve ever read. Bruns is scum of the lowest order, as are the makers of those sick videos and sick images.

That’s just pure evil.

[TheCipher]

What do you bet this will get trumpeted all over the place in order to slam Fox News?

If they do, just hit them with this. It seems he is a liberal Dem.
