does this story posted at 12:08 PM EST say that the controllers in California say "the craft appeared to be "alive" and sending signals to tracking stations."?
"We have no evidence that anything is wrong with the spacecraft at all," said Bruce Betts, the Planetary Society's director of projects, late on Tuesday.
Either Fox is slow with the news (big surprise)* or the folks in the project and in Russia still don't know for sure.
* Whenever there has been some kind of sudden, breaking news, I switch between CNN and Fox to see who has it first. As a rule, CNN is always first on reporting it and does, overall, a much better job of actually reporting what is taking place.

Not according to this article which was posted at 12:08 PM EST.
From the article:
But controllers at the Pasadena, California, office of the Planetary Society, the mission's U.S. backers, said the craft appeared to be "alive" and sending signals to tracking stations.
"We have no evidence that anything is wrong with the spacecraft at all," said Bruce Betts, the Planetary Society's director of projects, late on Tuesday.
My original comment was modded down because someone didn't like my comment about my observed comparison between CNN and Fox so I'm reposting the link.
