Fox News Producer By Day, “Urban Storyteller” By Night…

32-year-old Kimberlee Auerbach is an “urban storyteller,” a performer of “public confessions” — and a producer at Fox News Channel in New York. “No one else at Rupert Murdoch’s cable channel knows what she does at night,” Joe Hagan says — until now. She’s afraid of getting fired. My favorite paragraph in the story is her description of working at FNC:

“And I work in a basement. So I don’t get a lunch break. No windows. Monitors above my head—20 monitors this way, 20 monitors behind me. I remember before we went to war, and I was still hoping we wouldn’t go to war, my boss came over to me and said, ‘Listen, when we go to war, we’re going to be 24/7 and you’re going to have to come in for the weekend.’ And I’m listening to her and it’s like wah-wah-wah, and I see above me: ‘Bubonic Plague; Files Missing in Texas; North Korea Nuclear Standoff’ …. It’s Armageddon! We’re going to die!”
