Anyone here heard of Headlines & Global News?

One of my wingnut relatives posted a story from Fox Noise on Facebook about Democrats supposedly stealing votes in Chicago using rigged voting machines. If you're thinking "wait a minute, that's what Republicans do, not Democrats" at this point, well, that was my first thought too. I did a Google news search to see if I could find the facts of this story from a reliable source, but the only other outlet running it was something called Headlines and Global News. Not having heard of this site before, I tried to find out some information on it, but the sites I'd normally check, such as Sourcewatch, don't seem to have heard of it either. It appears to be another wingnut site (it also ran stories about how Michael Brown was "going for the Ferguson cop's gun" and a UFO story, which wingnuts seem to love, for some reason) but does anyone know what it is and who's behind it? I'm curious.

1. IDK but take that machine out of service immediately.

1-We want to win fair and square. 2-It may also be flipping Dem votes to R since article states it had something to do with touch screen calibration. 3-fuck touchscreen voting altogether.

2. You're assuming this machine even exists

Given that the only sources for this story are Fox "News" and this other website that nobody seems to have heard of, I am by no means convinced.

Interesting that they would feel the need to fabricate such a story, though. It's the sort of thing you would expect if they were expecting a Democratic victory in next month's election, in order to delegitimize the results. But we are constantly being told that a Republican landslide is inevitable. Either they're covering all the bases just in case, or they're not as confident of victory as they like to pretend.
