Fox News Caught Flat-Footed Again When Terrorists Hit Jakarta Hotels
July 16th 2009

Posted on 07/16/2009 9:20:37 PM PDT by Steelfish

Why is that only CNN is able to immediately bring video footage of internationally occurring events? As usual Fox News is caught flat-footed and keep running their regular programs.

If Micheal Jackson’s corpse would have been in the hotel, there would have been much better coverage on FNC...

Huh?

Is this according to YOU that FOX is “flat footed” ?

I suppose CNN is your favorite?

Because Fox is too busy playing re-runs of O’Reilly and Hannity for the 10,000th time.

I want to see the regular programs. You can see only so much devastation. They’ve been covering it, but not exclusively, and that’s the way I like it.

Because Fox News is my favorite it is pathetically disappointing that they have ceded monopoly coverage of news breaking events to CNN. Programming heads at Fox News need to roll.

I agree...Fox is good when it comes to news analysis, but when it comes to up to the minute news, they are last.

When one cable outlet is showing breaking news of a terrorist attack and another is showing a rerun of a political talk show, I don't think that favoritism is the point.

Don’t know. Maybe CNN staff are the terrorists who did the bombing.

Hannity must be rerun no matter what the breaking news is.

Yeah, you mean the way CNN covered the Iranian protests? The Iranian people are not to happy with CNN, it took them about 4 days to start covering the protests in Iran and then only after there was a world wide question as to why they weren’t. CNN, the Communist News Network, all communist, all the time!

When it comes to breaking news CNN crushes Fox. When judgment day comes CNN will have live cameras all over the world and FOX will be re-running an earlier show about a missing pretty white girl.

Blasts Hit Two Luxury Hotels in Jakarta, 9 Killed
Friday, July 17, 2009

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A pair of powerful explosions killed nine and wounded at least 50 people in an upscale Jakarta neighborhood Friday morning, sending debris and glass flying onto the streets.

Anti-terror forces were at the scenes of both blasts, but did not yet want to speculate about the possibility of an attack by militants.

“There were bodies on the ground, one of them had no stomach,” said a man who lives near the hotels and who arrived at the Marriott before emergency services. “It was terrible.”

...

The blasts were caused by “high explosives,” Security Minister Widodo Adi Sucipto told reporters at the scene, without elaborating. He said they exploded two minutes apart.

He said a New Zealander was among those killed, and that thirteen other foreigners were among the injured.

I’m also NOT interested in having my programs interrupted for THIS. I also don’t watch CNN as YOU do.
