Holy Crap. Local Fox affiliate is advertising tonights big story . . .
It's a shock coming from anything Fox related, they are talking about a right-wing group lying to people to get them to sign an anti-gay marriage petition by telling them it's a petition to allow grocery stores to sell wine and spirits.

Hard to believe this is being talked about on Fox.

1. It means the political group
is so far to the Right that Fox news feels 'left' behind! Yikes!

2. Sounds like the kind of lies
the Phelps group used here to get people to sign their petition to introduce an ordinance to our city.

3. I assume you mean the local mass faux outlet
Don't confuse local broadcast stations with the faux news cable propaganda station. The local fox affiliates have much more freedom to report local news of interest.

The petition fraud is an amazing story. It is likely to completely derail the whole gay-bashing petition drive.

5. I'm surprised as well
Is it a local affiliate of Fox or the actual fox people? The local affiliate I think isn't quite as bad as the main Fox like with O'Reilly, Hannity etc.

6. Apparently, Roger Ailes hasn't gotten a tight grip
on all the affiliates yet.

Let's see if a year from now there are comparable stories on the affiliates, or only stories flattering to conservatives.
