“The Galactic Federation is doomed, people!” said Ben Gleck, opinion show host on FAUX News, “Or it will be, if President Lovenstein gets his way. Why is Lovenstein not answering the people (and by the people, I mean me)? He won’t respond to allegations that he’s a child-murderer! Is he a child-murderer? I don’t know. I do know that he hasn’t not said he’s not a child-murderer!” Ben began to choke up, “You see these tears? You see how much I care? No ulterior motive here! Just old fashioned patriotism. Show your patriotism by buying my new book (only 29.95 space-dollars)!”

I might let the first slide as a dialect issue, but I just can't allow the second.
I think you're right on both counts. Thanks for catching them! They're fixed now.
