Another Fox News Smear

For readers of this blog you might remember I follow the show RedEye.  One of the guys on this show, Andy Levy, has a Twitter account which I follow (one of the few people I follow) and today he posted something amusing but yet perfectly sums up how anything with Fox News attached to it is game for smearing:

Fox News Writer Accused of Ramming Cyclist in Road Rage

Witnesses managed to get the SUV’s license plate, and Dooda filed a police report. But it wasn’t until Gawker did some digging that the driver become a complete cliche: His name is Don Broderick, and he writes for Fox News. Of course, he insists, “Whatever this guy is claiming, there’s no truth involved—he punched me. And I left, because he was attacking me.” Dooda denies punching Broderick, and tells Gawker: “I’m sure he felt like I was antagonizing motorists because I was in the left lane riding a bicycle. But did I attack him? If he considers me pointing out that he is an aggressive and dangerous driver to be an attack, yes. Otherwise, no.”

Anyone who regularly bikes around New York (or has seen Fox News) won’t have a hard time deciding who the asshole is here. Also unsurprising to those familiar with the NYPD-bike-car hate triangle: Broderick says the NYPD never contacted him after Dooda filed his report.

I’m still trying to figure out how someone’s employment means anything when it comes to traffic law, but I guess I’m too logical.  Someone named TheKlaus made an apt comment: “Also, the fox news connection does trivialize a very scary, almost life threatening incident. The company the attacker works for is irrelevant.”

Yet another looney post from our “celebrate diversity” friends.
