How hard do you suppose the media will work to discredit this report? Perhaps it will simply be ignored?
No... I suspect it will be discredited by the end of the day. There's no way the media can let this one slide.
Hmm, lets see... even though the story didn't originate with Fox, it was picked up by Fox... Yup... I'm certain that will be enough "evidence" to cast doubt on these facts.
