Teacher outed as former gay porn model by Fox News

Gosh, how long has it been since Fox News ruined someone’s life? Like, five days? Man, that’s a lot of restraint for those guys. Anyway, just to prove they can, Mike Beaudet decided to bring up Massachusetts high school teacher Kevin Hogan’s past fling with gay porn, when he modelled for three gay porn movies, over a year ago, as Hytch Cawke.

. . . All right, fine, maybe the name could use some work, but other than that, a pretty shitty move by Fox.

Here’s the thing: if Hogan was still acting and pursuing a career in gay porn? Then yes, I can see why someone might want to address that. But for the most part, Hogan did it only a few times for cash, before he started teaching. He’s currently not pursuing a gay porn career, and judging by the movies (which are just a bunch of generic titles), I doubt anyone would have ever really found out about it.

But no. Fox News decided to bring up an issue no one knew or cared about. But maybe it was for the best. Maybe he was a bad teacher and his students weren’t learning anything and — oh wait! According to The Sword, all his students, former students and the parents of his students actually loved the guy. So it turns out, Fox decided to kick some shit just to say they could. Awesome job, guys! If you guys sucked at your job any harder, you would have an exclusive contract with Treasure Island Media. And syphilis. I know, that’s just redundant.

Oh, and here’s a still from something that ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON FOX NEWS. Like fish in a barrel, I swear to God.
