Critics say Denver extorting millions from car owners
Source: KWGN TV - Denver

DENVER -- The statistics are shocking. The city of Denver impounded hundreds of vehicles this year under its nuisance law, forcing citizens, many of whom have been found to have done nothing wrong, to pay thousands of dollars to get their vehicle back.

1. And Fox News is always Right! And Fair! And Balanced!
So whatever spin they decide to put on whatever they want to cover must not only be IMPORTANT, it must be TRUE!

sheepishly,
Bright

3. Okay, that's funny
But you might want to put in that :sarcasm: thingy because some people might think you don't know the difference between FOX TV, you know the network of the Simpsons, Glee, Family Guy, Fringe Etc., and the Fox News Channel on cable.

2. Local FOX stations seem to be on the level for the most part.

4. Yes... The Denver Fox affiliate is ok....despite the affiliation...
I wouldn't say they are the best local channel, nor that they necessarily excel in investigative reporting, but they are ok.

5. Not Owned by News Corp
Fox31 in Denver is owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners' Local TV LLC.

They bought the station from News Corp in 2008.

Locally, their news coverage is actually pretty fair ... one of the better local news stations.

6. WTF!
More and more the laws being passed are nothing more then money making scams for the city and their "friends".
