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.
