Fox News managed to turn today's primary election in Illinois into a story about Bill Ayers. Check out the foxnews.com story in the lower left hand corner of this FNC screenshot:
Yes, Fox is the most trusted name in news. Among conservative wingnuts. And if you've looked at our poll of Republican voters, you know just how crazy they are.
