<National Report>The Fox television show COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey has attracted its fair share of detractors since the docudrama first aired on March 9th. But soon, the controversy revolving around the show might reach climactic new heights, as several State senators in Kansas will propose a bill on Thursday that would force Fox affiliates in their state to black out the science show completely.

The bill, which many are expecting will pass, would force local Kansas television stations affiliated with Fox to pay steep fines for airing the program. Should any network continue to air all thirteen episodes of the show’s first season, the State would move to revoke their broadcasting privileges completely, driving those networks off the air
.....
Conservative lawmakers in Kansas are, however, offering Fox a back door through which they could skirt the new law: they won’t press this law into effect if Fox will agree to immediately develop a new show, hosted by young-Earth creationist Ken Ham, which pushes the theories of so-called “intelligent design.” This new show would need to be aired on Sunday evenings, before Cosmos, in order for the small-time Fox affiliates to avoid Kansas’ legislative wrath.



Stupid bastards!
 
In addition, any station in the State which attempts to broadcast an evening news program will be forced to air an hour of Fox News programming to provide balance for the viewers.

Um....how long do these idiots think it would take to launch a brand-new program?
If it's going to air before any 1st Season Cosmos episodes, it'll be Ham at a podium, speaking from notes and holding a book up to the camera to show 'see this picture...?'

Actually, maybe they should do it. This shit thrown together in a hurry. Followed by Cosmos.... It'll look like a 7th grader's report on the space program followed by Gravity. With Tyson opening each show, shaking his head and laughing.

I've been fooled a time or two.

On a story that seems a stretch I check to see if the story appears elsewhere.
 
I live in "open Carry" Kansas where the school board wants creation on the agenda.
Just got back from "open Carry" Oklahoma.

Ding Dong Ding Dong.

MY brother believes that God cares for him personally.

Not too well apparently since he has had three heart attacks, Tardive Dyskinesia, two strokes and is now in end time Parkinson disease.

Even though it's a fake news article I bet Bownback would pass it if he could.

It really is getting harder to tell what is satire because these people keep pushing the boundaries.
