The Quick Brown is a Fox News headline tracker that visually displays deltas (additions and edits) in a quick-to-grok manner. It’s actually possible to watch the sensationalizing in slow-motion, which is as sickening as it is fascinating.

For example, the headline “Obama: Tax cut by April 1″ becomes “Obama gearing up for fight.”

The text of the article shifts from:
“President says he’ll fight to change health care, energy and education — even if lobbyists don’t like it”
to
“President says he’ll fight to change health care, energy and education — as GOP objects to budget’s cost.”

It’s almost like the news is being corroded before our eyes, where a perfectly reasonable story about taxes is tailored into a standoffish piece about Obama targeting the party of Fox News.

Federal investigators are looking into a small plane crash in Ohio which claimed the life of its pilot, a Republican media consultant who was instrumental in the presidential and gubernatorial campaigns of three members of the Bush Family.

Michael Connell,45, of Akron died Friday when his plane crashed near a vacant house in Uniontown while attempting to land at nearby Akron-Canton Airport.

But the fatal accident is also raising questions about Connell and his work for key political figures and lobbyists, which has targeted him in investigations over missing White House e-mails and a lawsuit alleging electronic voting fraud.

Following Last Friday’s fatal accident, CBS Affiliate WOIO reported that Connell, who had recently been subpoenaed to testify in relation to a lawsuit alleging vote rigging in the 2004 Ohio election, was warned at least twice about flying his plane because his plane might be sabotaged.

Quoting an anonymous close friend of Connell’s, WOIO correspondent Blake Chenault also reported that twice in the past two months Connell, who was an experienced pilot, canceled flights because of suspicious problems with his plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are investigating the crash.

Just saying, is all…
