I love how they resort to the Wayback Machine for "archived" versions of the page.

There is probably no reliable source showing a substantive relationship between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. Reverend Wright is another matter, as some significant relationship surely existed. However the article is about Barack Obama, not about Fox News or opposition to him.

Well, I suppose they need something to occupy their time. Must have been a lot of dead air to fill after November 4th.
This has hit petition-drive status and anything resembling a public email address for prominent volunteers has been getting reams of drooling illiterate rubbish on the matter. These are supposedly native speakers of English writing. What on earth.
Oddly, I'm disinclined to put a second's effort into dealing with this matter in any way at all, and think we can leave the editorial processes to run as they will.

They tried the "natural born citizen" one *again*. The judge not only threw it out so hard it bounced, but has asked the plaintiff's attorney to explain precisely why he shouldn't get a Rule 11 sanction for wasting everyone's time.
NPOV is so annoying when what you *really* want to call the article is [[Barack Obama conspiracy nutters acting like drooling morons, documented in full]].

Are Fox's archived pages accessible? It would be great to have more insight into their editorial processes.

People watch Fox News? I'd always assumed it was a joke Americans played on foreigners...

In roughly the same proportion as people read newspapers in the UK. Sadly, some unknown percentage of both groups actually take what they see/read seriously.

Probably so. Nevertheless, knowing how to read is not a prerequisite for symbiosis with Fox News.
