was fox trolling for coulter advertising dollars?

[acroyear]

The same time that Fox News "accidentally" (well, I haven't seen an official statement yet) labeled Foley as "D-FL" (translation: Democrat) on three separate occasions throughout the day yesterday, Coulter publishes her column where she pulls the predictable "hypocricy" card by directly comparing Foley to Stubbs and naturally enough omitting a few facts in order to say 1) how the Democrats were worse in handling that (truth: the Democrats never tried a direct cover up - they simply did what their authority allowed them to do, a censure, and expected the voters to make their own judgements, which after 5 re-elections, they obviously did - not that Coulter gives a shit about real democracy or anything), and 2) by doing such a comparison, while bringing out Foley's revealed homosexuality, openly calling him a "closet Democrat".

This means, of course, that if you google for "Fox Foley Democrat", 4 of the first 12 links are to copies of her column syndicated in news sites across the country, thus bringing in advertising revenue for the added eyeballs.

Not that I really think there was a conspiracy here, because nobody's THAT smart on that channel.
