Three former Fox executives are pulling back the curtain on Fox and its leader Rupert Murdoch.

Former Fox execs Preston Padden, Ken Solomon, and Bill Reyner say they regret their roles in roles helping Murdoch build Fox in its early days.

The trio says they were excited to help Fox launch a “4th network” but now says, "We never envisioned, and would not knowingly have enabled, the disinformation machine that, in our opinion, Fox has become.”

"Apparently it is a disease you get from watching false news on Fox," Padden told CNN.
