I thought I would ever say this.....

but thank you to the Fox reporter who told the truth about Gianforte. She was the difference between Gianforte getting away with what he did and letting the reporter to defend for himself! I guess there are a few good people who work for any Fox station.

They're just J-school grads who took jobs at a local station and couldn't be fussy about which station. Here, back when I bothered to watch broadcast news, their local reporting wasn't bad. National stories from the cable channel were horrible.

They tend to be pretty even-handed, unlike the cable Fox News network.
