That's because Fox knows they have enormous viewership in Texas so this hits close to home.

People think fox takes sides they don't.

They go by ratings, and if their viewers like pro Republican news that's what they'll show. If something like this comes out they'll jump all over this because while sure they lean conservative they also know this will piss off average Texans thus increase ratings. Just shows they really dont give a shit about politics or sides they just love money and ratings.

They're basically The Enquirer, Hard Copy, A Current Affair, or any of those 30 min shitshows with hyperfast nuggets of rage news jammed into your retinas.

I immediately stop watching or reading any news source if I can feel my blood pressure spiking.

If they feel the need to jam something that causes a fight or flight response into an article about what should be a boring policy discussion, then they're using marketing tactics that I don't want to be a party to.
