Sources say that Stinger interfered in FOX 2 News coverage, not only of her long-time boyfriend Jackson, but also in the coverage of the Detroit Arab and Muslim communities and the coverage of FarrakhanвЂ™s February 2007 appearance in Detroit, at which StingerвЂ™s boyfriend, Rayford Jackson, apparently sat on the dias behind Farrakhan while he spoke. Last week, I told you about Fanchon Stinger, the face of FOX News/NewsCorpвЂ™s owned-and-operated affiliate, whose Muslim religion affected her reporting and activism on behalf of an anti-Israel, pro-HAMAS/Hezbollah organization. Sources also say that the anchorвЂ™s co-mingled assets with that boyfriend resulted in biased coverage of the apparent target of bribery by her boyfriend, a Detroit City Councilwoman (Monica Conyers). Sources say this resulted in the gushing FOX 2 News coverage of NoI and Farrakhan during his 2007 visit to Detroit. Schlussel wrote in one blog post a couple of years ago:ДЄ suspended Muslim FOX/NewsCorp anchor and reporterвЂ™s boyfriend is a top lieutenant in the Nation of Islam and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan and Muslim issues in general. Last year, Stinger told Local 4's Carmen Harlan that she did not have any involvement with Synagro, and that she never did any work for the Houston-based sludge company.ДЄccording to Local 4, Stinger is also being sued for an autombile accident in which her ex-boyfriend was involved while driving a $250,000 Ferrari owned by her.ДЇellow Detroit area blogger Debbie Schlussel has been very vocal in criticizing Stinger's slanted coverage in favor of the Nation of Islam's Rev. Jackson is currently serving five years in prison in upstate New York. In June, Jackson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery for supplying former councilwoman Monica Conyers with at least $6,000 to secure her tie-breaking vote in a $1.2 billion controversial sludge disposal contract. Stinger lost her job as an anchor after an investigation into Jackson's involvement in a city hall scandal surfaced. She added that she didnвЂ™t know anything about it and she doesn't own a Ferrari.

Stinger told a local TV station that she was a victim of her ex-boyfriend's manipulation:ДЇanchon told Local 4 that she has not received service of the case. Her ex-boyfriend, Rayford Jackson, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to bribe Conyers with a payment of at least $6,000 in exchange for her support of a $1.2 billion sludge disposal contract.

Praising her, the press release says, 'Stinger, who was a morning anchor and reporter at Fox in Detroit for 11 years, became an advocate for abused children and domestic violence victims.' 'Fanchon's on-air success speaks for itself, but it's her desire to truly make a positive impact that sets her apart,' says News Director Lee Rosenthal.
