AlterNet: Fox Newser Arrested for Dragging Cyclist 200 Yards

Fox Newser Arrested for Dragging Cyclist 200 Yards

Posted by Byard Duncan, AlterNet at 3:56 PM on June 17, 2009.

The NYPD has confirmed that Don Broderick, a news writer at Fox, has been taken into custody for his SUV-capades.

Don Broderick, a news writer at Fox, has been arrested for dragging a cyclist 200 yards with his SUV, Gawker has confirmed.

Brian Dooda, a 34-year-old resident of Brooklyn, told the New York Daily News on June 10 that Broderick knocked him down, forcing him to cling to the hood of the car. Dooda said that as Broderick accelerated, the two made eye contact through the windshield.

"He was expressionless, he didn't say anything," Dooda said.

Dooda posted his full police testimony about the incident on a cycling message board. Here's a choice excerpt:

"The driver then accelerated, lunging straight into me, knocking me and my bicycle to the ground and to the left side of his car. I quickly got to my feet and positioned myself in front of his vehicle to prevent him from fleeing the scene. I called out to bystanders to call the police and yelled at the driver that he was insane, he just hit me, and he can't leave. The driver again accelerated into me, with no intention of stopping, forcing me, prostrate, onto the drivers side hood of his vehicle."

Is it too soon to make a joke about the dangers of veering too far right?

1. Considering that the cyclist is all right and that a Fox News employee

is in trouble, I think it's open season on jokes.

Q: Why did the SUV-driving Fox News employee cross the road?

A: To hit the cyclists on the other side.

A lame beginning, but you guys can take it from here!

5. Why is it that most agressively psychotic assholes are wingnuts?

There's few things more pathetic and cowardly than using a 2 ton vehicle to harass, intimidate, or assault other people, yet that seems to be a very common trait among wingnuts.

6. I've always thought Fox News employees were warped. How could you lie

all day as a newswriter/journalist and not be warped?

10. You could remove "Alleged Hit-and-Run Artist" from that headline and it'd still be true.

Or you could replace it with "Audience" or "Prime Time Lineup."
