Punk'd: Fox Airs Deep-Faked Story Stoking White Resentment
Fox should air a retraction since the "letter" they whine about turns out to be from a right-wing astroturf organization.

Fox News aired a provably false story Tuesday night, and they should retract it.
"SNIP.....
Turns out parents in the white and wealthy Dallas suburb of Highland Park received flyers from a group claiming the name "Dallas Justice Now." The missive told parents they should not allow their high schoolers to apply to Ivy League schools in order to "leave room" for non-white applicants. It also threatened parents with having their names published as "racists" if they didn't sign a pledge to bar their kids from applying to Ivy League schools.
On Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson stand-in [Fox News link] Mark Steyn crowed about white liberals willing to go all-in for Black Lives Matter until it affected their kids' Ivy League standing: "So if you white liberal allies are just thinking you can point your tax-deductible donation to the El Paso Festival of Aspiring Rappers, that ain't going to cut it anymore." Steyn sniffed.
The story bubbled through the right-wing ecosphere: everyone from Candace Owens to PJ Media wanted to "call out" white liberals who were "exposed" as hypocrites by a "Black activist organization."
Attorney Geoff Bowser smelled a rat:
