 Just read in the local paper...

 Detroit ran their Mayoral primary. The two leading contenders
 were Benny Napoleon, the county sherrif, and a shoe in for the
 nomination, and thus almost certainly the election, and Mike
 Duggan, a former county prosecutor, former country deputy
 administrator and former head of the Detroit Medical Center.

 The kicker was, Duggan had lived in Detroit barely a year, was
 not on the ballot, but was a writein, and he's white in a
 heavily black majority city.

 The results, Napoleon, 28,352 votes, Duggan, 44,395 votes.

 Ok, so the write in won, against all odds, that's not the big
 story. The big story is, a Fox News reporter took a barber who
 had never voted to the city clerk's office, and helped him
 register as a write in candidate for mayor. The fact that the
 barber's name is Mike Dugeon just might make it look like the
 Fox News reporter wanted to confuse the voters. It didn't work,
 he got less than 20 votes.

 Did that reporter do that because Fox News didn't want a white
 man to win in Detroit? Would a white mayor in Detroit cost Fox
 News a great point on which to trash the city?

 Or, was it that Fox News *WANTS* Detroit to fail. So did they
 try to sabotage the best candidat?

 And how does Fox News portray themselves as a legitimate news
 agency when they try to create the news?

.... Does the name 'Quasimodo' ring a bell?  I had a hunch it might.
