A man protesting Fox News shot himself fatally in the chest Monday outside of the News Corp. building in midtown, authorities and sources said.
The 41-year-old man, who was not identified, was found just before 9 a.m. sitting slumped outside of the building on Sixth Avenue and West 47th Street, cops and witnesses said.
Police at the scene said the man shot himself with a small-caliber pistol, which was found on the ground next to him. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died, cops said.
Prior to the shooting, the man was heard protesting Fox News, saying that the news channel ruined his life, a source said.
Security guards asked the man to leave and when they turned around to walk back inside, they heard a gunshot, the source said. No one else was injured.
The man had what appeared to be a suicide note in his pocket, the source added.
The News Corp. building houses Fox News Channel, in addition to other media companies.
Fox News did not return a call seeking comment.

Do you need to be a pro gun liberal to shoot yourself?
I do not have foxnews. No cable TV for me. Cheaper than buying a gun, then travel all the way to news corp. building
