A Michigan-based Fox affiliate cut away from Republican Tudor Dixon during her opening statements at Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate.

After Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) gave her opening remarks, Dixon’s were interrupted by advertisements for a college football game and Ashley Furniture.

“I’m running for governor because Gretchen Whitmer has taken us on the wrong track,” Dixon said. “She’s pushed a radical progressive social agenda, and she hasn’t listened to the problems you have every single day.

“Radical agendas lead to dangerous things to happen in the state. We’ve lost 82,000 jobs, we see our reading scores have plummeted; our graduation rates have dropped. Our cities are less safe, and the roads aren’t fixed,” she added before the interruption.

Suddenly, a Fox 47 advertisement for week-long coverage ahead of Saturday’s Big 10 Conference college football game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans appeared on the screen. Another ad for an Ashley furniture store in Lansing began to play before cutting back to Dixon’s remarks.

In total, Michiganders missed 12-13 seconds of her statement. In that time, Dixon hammered Whitmer for “misplaced priorities” and “broke promises.”

So “to be fair” they broadcast Whitmer’s opening statement in it’s entirety twice.

I agree. Many incompetent staffers that have problems with manual broadcasts. So used to automation that they never are really schooled in manual operations.

Fox 47 is WSYM a Fox affiliate in Lansing. It’s owned by Scripps. ‘Nuff said.

Fox is trolling for the DemoniKKKrat audience. Fox will use Yellow Journalism and wall-to-wall Camp Lejeune commercials to attract an audience that is basically brain dead.
