Fox has been sleeping, for this story.

I hate CNN, but have been watching them.

Bigtime.

CNN does seem to cover international news better than anyone else but in this case they sound like a reality TV show.

” and its desire to avoid a partisan slant in its punditry, is out in the cold when it comes to firing up the 365-day-a-year news addicts.”

Such bull feces ....

The Zombie Plane theory channel?
Plane full of dead crew and passengers flying south, and south and south until the autopilot finally tries to do a water landing?

I seldom watch BOR, but as channel fliping last night, I kept catching bits of his show. All of them were about CNN coverage of the missing jet. A show about another channel’s coverage. I guess we will now get a “news” channel reporting about FOX coverage of CNN....and so it goes....

I still hold to the theory that the jet flew for a half hour to gain altitude, glided for an hour, over and over, and is in a wheat field in Kansas.

It might be because FOX like CNN is covering this story ad nauseam and FOX viewers are simply turning to other channels that are not going over the same ground over and over and over again.

That channel BTW is not CNN.

Gak!

I wish they would get off this hobby horse. There is other news in the world.

:: A show about another channel’s coverage ::

And where were you when all the news outlets were breathlessly covering the “Katie Couric will be sitting in Walter Cronkites chair” soap opera?

I assume, like me, you were trying desperately to hold back the desire to violently wretch your stomach contents. (AKA, we are on the same page, bruh!)

Fox News ... selection of news often consists of taking an item that isn’t that interesting in itself and funnelling it through the outrage of their pundits and panels. If it’s a slow news day, the rage on Fox News or the policy-wonk nerdiness on MSNBC (edit to add: the problem at MSNBC is that they are just too darned smart)

Yup. No bias here.

The story is over now. The plane will never be found. It will join other air legends like DB Cooper.

For all its faults, CNN's coverage of breaking news stories -- especially international ones -- puts its competitors to shame.

Fox is the worst of the bunch, and they would do well to simply ignore stories like this because they usually make fools of themselves when they try to cover them. The Fox News coverage of Hurricane Katrina was so awful that I was (almost) embarrassed for them.

Yeah .... You saw that bias as well.

MSNBC has “policy wonks” but Fox has “hatred”.

Do the ABCNNBCBS national news media do anything but talk to themselves to reinforce their own biases?

Blowhard O’Blowhard refused to cover the story till he got beaten in the ratings by CNN and is now covering the story. ROFL. CNN keeps repeating the same themes and is boring. All the CNN experts have an axe to grind.

Even networks such as Fox sometimes do this sort of thing. Back in the 1990's, the networks were captivated by the story of a babysitter accused of killing a child in her care--something that should have only been of interest to local media. Yet the story was covered night after night--even on Fox.

A few years later, the media went gaga over the death of an actress--Nicole something or other. I was soon changing the channel whenever that story came up.

Some credit should be given to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Fox News for giving CNN so much free advertising about how they are covering this story.

A lot of people may be tuning in just to see how nutty they get over there.

Not me, of course.
