It is the top headline on Fox right now, which says a lot.



Aside from Trump’s continuing insanity, it’s a pretty slow news day, and obviously they can’t lead with that.


There is a rather good chance that the reason it is the lead story on Foxnews right now is so it can increase user engagement in their chat sections. Lots of people who think non-hetersexuals don't deserve equal rights all over the chat.

More anger == more ad revenue.


@JaimeThompson, is there anything in your 'good chance' assessment that has material evidence?

I went to the article https://www.foxnews.com/us/nasa-astronaut-identity-theft-ban...

But it seems that the comment section is not even open for this story.

Where are you getting your evidence from?


Ah, never mind. I see that the comment section is visible to people in US ip addresses only. is that other's experience too?


I’m in the US and see the comments. I regret seeing them. 4/6 comments that I read were incredibly toxic.


I never saw mention of her sexually until you decided an injustice happened. I think you are doing society a favor by standing up for her but what's happening is you are sexualizing her story and character.

Not to mention prejudging the actions of a group of people over a future chat.


I actually read 100+ messages under the story before posting what I did. I doubt it would have been acceptable for me to post those comments here.

Her sexuality is mentioned in the first paragraph "after her estranged wife alleged she stole her identity and accessed her bank account without permission during a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station."
