Fox 44 News Reports Ralph Nader Supports Anthony Pollina for Governor

*Updated*

Buried deep within its news coverage concerning Ralph Nader's stops in Vermont today, Fox 44 News offers a sole paragraph within a longer report stating about how (here; video clip available, plays in IE browser, not Firefox):

[...]

Nader touched on state politics as well, throwing his support behind independent candidate for governor Anthony Pollina.

[...]
The problem with this segment of the report is that it does not provide any context or additional information as to what the paragraph actually means, if anything, as to exactly what Ralph Nader may have stated and meant by it: i.e., a direct quote might have been more helpful in this regard.

*Update*: Read an article that does a much better as well as more detailed job at reporting on the subject, here (Middlebury Campus; Thursday, October 9, 2008).
