John McCain’s hiding in your news open
Don Day May 11th, 2008
Some enterprising YouTuber/Digger was looking at the video of the WNYW/Fox 5 intro, when he noticed something. Of course, now some people on YouTube and Digg assume it’s a conspiracy…

So they accidentally keyed the open over the wrong source.

Fox News as a cable channel may be the “conservative” network, but I doubt the local Fox has a political bent other than being very much in favor of breaking news.

Oh good Lord. I second TeeVee’s analysis - that’s exactly what happened. People who want to can find conspiracy in anything. They give us way too much credit. We hit wrong buttons all the time.
What we don’t see is if McCain was one of the next few stories or tease videos - if that video of him and Cindy was queued up and was in one of the decks (or digital decks) or MEs ready to go.
Any director can give a logical explanation. Of course, once you’ve reached a conspiracy conclusion, no amount of logic will do.
My word, we’ve become a hypersensitive, paranoid world, haven’t we?

Agreed. Now can we talk about the vBulletin FAQ pasted in the Law and Order commercials?

I think it’s obvious that the Stonecutters are behind this…

Dave is right. After all, they made Steve Guttenberg a star!

And keep the Martians under wraps.
