These more embarrassing, newsworthy remarks never made into the final broadcast of Carlson’s chat with the rapper. (The interview was also before<\/em> Ye threatened online to go \u201cdeath con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE\u201d before being banned from multiple platforms.)<\/p>\n Fox may be closing in on the leaker, but it’s now almost a week since Vice published the videos. This is a notable detail because in 2012, the last time the network dealt with a major video breach, it found and escorted the leaker\u2014Bill O’Reilly’s then-associate producer Joe Muto\u2014out of the building in less than 24 hours. <\/p>\n \u201cThis new leaker learned from my mistakes,\u201d Muto told Confider. \u201cThe main reason I got caught is that I wasn’t covering my digital trail particularly well. They’re obviously doing a better job than I did if they haven’t been found yet.\u201d <\/p>\n Following Muto’s leaks to Gawker, the network instituted stricter security protocols for accessing video, making it more difficult to access sensitive outtakes like the Ye ones. \u201cIt seems this leaker has found a way around that,\u201d Muto remarked. <\/p>\n If you’re the Kanye video leaker, or anyone else at Fox with some juicy info, we’d love to hear from you.
