Gov. Nathan Deal’s staff and Fox 5 Atlanta may have ended a spat that made both sides look bad — or at least should have.
It began when Fox 5 aired a half-baked account of payments Deal’s campaign made last year to his daughter-in-law.
It escalated when his aides had state troopers single out Fox 5 for exclusion from Deal’s office when he signed a bill.
Fox 5’s report, which implied that the campaign tried to hide $90,000 it paid a fund-raising company co-owned by Denise Deal, was a doozie.
