“Oklahoma Fox affiliate cuts evolution from ‘Cosmos’ premiere.”

http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2014/0313/Oklahoma-Fox-affiliate-cuts-evolution-from-Cosmos-premiere

Viewers in Oklahoma who tuned into watch ‘Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,’ hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, missed about 15 seconds of the show, which just happened to be the one part where Dr. Tyson mentioned evolution.

Instead, a local news promo was aired in the few seconds time slot.

The station apologized, chalking it up to an “operator error.”

“Many believe this was done intentionally in an attempt to shield our viewers from this subject matter,” said Fox 25 in a statement. “That is not the case.”

“Operator error”, eh? Why am I not reassured?
