While the second post may in fact have been intended as simply a statement of concern for a man in trouble, it's still somewhat disingenuous given what most know about Fox News. So rather than be a source for future debate, maybe it'd be best to simply view this instance as an illustration of the importance of choosing sources for backing up a persons' own personal sentiments?
Since I was the one who posted the second statement. It was intended to correct what I thought was an biased version of the story. I chose the Fox story from among several very similar stores on multiple outlets, precisely because I felt the Fox was likely to be perceived as more sympathetic to his views, not because of any views I hold. In fact I think the Fox story was either based on an AP story or was picked up by AP because so many of the other reports are so similar.

In any event yesterday a judge ordered the Brandon J Raub to be released immediately, so I assume he is home or with family by now.

I wish him well.
