2. MSNBC
he said he got a tip that Murdoch was going to sell the L.A. Dodgers, he confirmed it, he went to the Fox people and asked if he could report it, that he wouldn't if they didn't want him to since it was within the company and all, they cleared it, he reported it, and two weeks later he was fired ... later he heard from another reporter that as soon as he reported the story that Murdoch had ordered him to be fired

3. Did I hear this correctly?
I was only half-way listening, but I think they were discussing the fact that Fox News requires all of its employees to sign an agreement that they won't comment on the company even after they leave the company. The filmmakers apparently had to interview some of the ex Fox News people without the latter revealing their identities, as they were very much afraid of Murdoch.
