Putting the Faux in news

Avedon Carol of the Sideshow blog, points to a Katha Politt article in the Nation about how an Arizona Fox News affiliate tried to intimidate voters and those attempting to register them to vote. Short version? The fox reporter, Natalie Tejeda, claims the students registering to vote in Arizona are committing a felony, and they are not. Let’s not forget the fact that Fox went after a feminist group doing a voter registration driver, ignoring a campus Republican group - who by the way, support the feminist voter registration efforts - doing the same thing. I suppose the local news was just trying for a certain "feel" to they story - telling people what they are doing is wrong, and not so much concerned with whether they are accurate or not. It's hard to be concerned about the facts when you've already decided what they are in advance. Can we make some of these local news reporters wear "Hack" buttons, or is that going too far?
