Neil deGrasse Tyson, super-cool dude.

"The Fox television show COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey has attracted its fair share of detractors since the docudrama first aired on March 9th.  But soon, the controversy revolving around the show might reach climactic new heights, as several State senators in Kansas will propose a bill on Thursday that would force Fox affiliates in their state to black out the science show completely. 

The bill, which many are expecting will pass, would force local Kansas television stations affiliated with Fox to pay steep fines for airing the program.  Should any network continue to air all thirteen episodes of the show's first season, the State would move to revoke their broadcasting privileges completely, driving those networks off the air.

Conservative lawmakers in Kansas are, however, offering Fox a back door through which they could skirt the new law: they won't press this law into effect if Fox will agree to immediately develop a new show, hosted by young-Earth creationist Ken Ham, which pushes the theories of so-called "intelligent design."  This new show would need to be aired on Sunday evenings, before Cosmos, in order for the small-time Fox affiliates to avoid Kansas' legislative wrath."

How reliable is the National Report?

Kansas must have loads of money to throw around, because that would be INSTANT AND PERMANENT LITIGATION.

Assuming there's anything to this.

incredibly reliable.

Google "Jane Agni".

Well, then I'll add things like the National report to this comment:

April Fools is doing its part to keep people in a constant state of skepticism.  And for this, I am thankful.

Though I suppose I could stand to be more skeptical, it seems.  Derp.

Seems like a clear violation of freedom of the press.  Fox has successfully sued to maintain their right to tell lies on air, I think they're quite capable of defeating this.

Saddlebridge Township, Oklahoma – Furious parents and citizens of Oklahoma took to the streets early Thursday, protesting against Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmos.  Protesters allege the show is blatantly promoting an anti-Creationist agenda and is 'standing against the Judeo-Christian moors and values of the Saddleback Township community and others nationwide."
The first protests against Cosmos in the community took place some two weeks ago, after a local paper claimed an airing of Cosmos in a school caused several children to experience 'demonic possession'.   Parents cite one kid became completely enamored with the show during a terrifyingly supernatural event linked with Neil DeGrasse Tyson's narrative explaining the "God of the Gaps" theory.

Several weeks ago, citizens accused Tyson of using his Cosmos program to forward other agendas, not limited to a 'homogay' agenda, wizardry/haroldry, astrology and other vehemently anti-Christian teachings.
