Notice how quickly that Fox reporter was fired, as opposed to how long it took to can Petah Ahnett.

Correct. He was part of the camera crew.

While I am not a real reporter, I do play one on FR--it probably was an engineer--I think we would recognize a name if it was a reporter

Oh come on, If I was over there I probably would have done the same thing. Certainly Olbermann would have done the same thing.

Why don't they wait until the rest of the list of people is released. Were they all Fox News Channel employees?

Hell, he's been ripping off TV stations for years.

This coming from a network that didn't see anything wrong with the Clintons carting off White House stuff.

No, the only other affiliation I heard was a member of a Boston newspaper, I believe it was not the Globe.

No, one unnamed was from the Boston herald. The reason the Fox guy was named I believe was because of the value of the stolen goods..bonds were mentioned.

Fox fired him after he was arrested by customs, Petah Arnet is a traitor and now works for arab news outlets. Go figure.

I think FOX beat them to the scoop. FOX was right up front with this, fired the guy, and reported it immediately.

Kind of takes the edge off for MSNBC, hmmm?

The reporter supposedly did say he was going to keep one painting and give one to his boss. Having said this I detest Keith Olberman. There isn't one day when he doesn't say something disgusting. I wrote to MSNBC over the weekend asking them to get rid of him. (Remember he quit his job at MSNBC when he couldn't stand reporting on the Clinton/Monica scandel).
