Oklahoma Fox station removes evolution from ‘Cosmos’ by cutting only 15 seconds

In what appeared to be an editing error, a Fox affiliate in Oklahoma managed to remove the only mention of evolution from Sunday night’s Cosmos science documentary by cutting only 15 seconds from the broadcast.
The much-anticipated reboot of Carl Sagan’s legendary Cosmos premiered on Sunday with an overview of the history of the Universe, from the Big Bang to the advent of humans.
It wasn’t until the last 10 minutes of the show that host Neil deGrasse Tyson hinted at human evolution.
“We are newcomers to the Cosmos,†he explained. “Our own story only begins on the last night of the cosmic year.â€
“Three and a half million years ago, our ancestors — your and mine left these traces,†Tyson said, pointing to footprints. “We stood up and parted ways from them. Once we were standing on two feet, our eyes were no longer fixated on the ground. Now, we were free to look up and wonder.â€
But for viewers of KOKH-TV in Oklahoma City, that 15 second paragraph was replaced by an awkwardly-inserted commercial for the evening news. The edit was caught on video and uploaded to YouTube by Adam Bates:
No more playing nice? Did you ever play nice? No, wait: did you ever find yourself in a situation in which you had to choose being nice over something else? Sequestering yourself in your home, surrounded by creature comforts (the rest of us call them Cheeto bags, though), doesn't put you in contact with "flat earthers" who insist on Creationism.

What exactly is "on," DUmmies? Are Creationists now going to be subject to your withering sarcasm? Haven't you always done that? Do you intend to kill them? If so, maybe you should think it over first.
The only thing that's "ON," WillyT, is the Cheeto dust ON your keyboard. Get a life, asshole.

DUmmies, the rotten fruit on the ground of the tree of life.

I'm pretty sure the DUmbass doesn't have a clue as to what "it" is. Then again that seems to be the normal state of being for your average DUmbass so it's nothing new.

Over the years, it has been "on" for a great number of things. I suspect that "on" means, ultimately, that something is being boycotted. Yet corporate profits are at an all-time high. Odd, that.
