I never post, presuming others are better qualified. But I might be in a somewhat unique position to report an odd event. Last Saturday night, as I was watching tv, an intense piece from FOX was inserted into an otherwise peaceful evening. I tried several escapes but all exits seemed to be locked. Finally I turned the tv off. When I brought the systems back up, I was able to find my way back to my happy place. But about ten minutes later, the system froze again, this time for an Amber Alert. The exact same restricted constraints were imposed on my viewing. Usually, I watch these messages. But instead, I tested to see if it seemed like the alert system could have been responsible for the FOX intrusion into my home. I became convinced it had.

My two minutes with FOX was sickening. Maybe this is the way they always spin. But I was impressed at the impassioned and effective delivery. If they had tried to pack their anti-impeachment talking points into a two minute segment, they could NOT have done a better job. I was shocked ... and afraid of the prospects of an alert system being used for political purposes in the future. As they say: “ Anything that can happen once, can happen twice.”
