I thought we all learned this years ago, but....

'Fox News' is not the same as a local Fox affiliate evening news.

Faux News is a 24-hour cable 'news' network that is run by a Republican strategist and features a bunch of windbag media personalities.

This is WJBK. Although it is owned by Fox, the news director is different, the editors are different, the reporters are different, and clearly the modus operandi is different.

Do not confuse this local station with their better-known national opinion-brothel. This guy is legit.

As a disclaimer: I care nothing about Detroit, I avoid buying American cars, I never watch Fox news (or any TV at all, really), and I have an ingrained hate for most journalists, but I do care about people.

This reporter is a Detroit native, and after leaving for several years (education, career, etc) came back to find a city steeped in shit. There are several clips of his reporting online, and every one is something that should be celebrated as a victory by the common man over a system that cares nothing about him (links below).
He can be a bit contrived and over-dramatic at times, but I would say he excels at walking the line between what's viewable on television, and the rage that anyone who is actually paying attention to what's happening around us would feel. He is amazingly tempered in his demeanor, and I can only assume he has to do more than one take in order to not show his anger.

Regardless, I read a lot. I hardly ever read non-fiction. His other reports were so genuine and passionate that, just last week, I checked out the book he authored titled "Detroit". I've yet to have time to open a page, but his work and what he is doing makes me eager to read it. The news clips of his that I have seen made me consider the guy as the pinnacle of journalistic reporting in the US.

The guys appearance might make him look like a douche, but I really feel like this is the modern day hero that we write comics about. Nothing will save the city of Detroit outside of Robocop, and I think it's destined to be abandoned and forgotten, but we should all support people who's actions are obviously in favor of those who need our help most. Even if they're on a Fox channel.

Fuck privilege, siftbot! Deep down in your shitty logic circuits you know I'm quality!

Yeah, this guy is the real deal, he actually cares about Detroit. It's a shame too cause for the most part, he's pretty much the only one left.

He's famous, and had a nice job offer in NYC. He stays in Detroit because he loves it.
