FoxNews Coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue, Too Much?
Vanity | Oct. 12, 2010 | Me

Posted on 10/12/2010 9:49:09 PM PDT by PROCON

I sympathize with the families of the Chilean miners who are currently being rescued, but I can't remember a Media event so covered since I was a 12 year old kid during the JFK assasination coverage.

Why is this event so covered?

The JFK Assasination was covered on and on and rightly so, but this coverage seems too much over the top.

What gives?

Feel good story.

Slow news day.

Nothing awful happening at the moment, and

It’s a nice break from politics.

Lighten up.

I agree. I’m afraid I’m being self-absorbed but I was bored after about 10 minutes. It seems to be a distraction from the election as well as what Obama is doing to our country. This is an uplifting story, but in the big scheme of things, probably isn’t that important except to the families involved.

FOX lives for this type of drama. I would not mind them breaking in when the first miner is being pulled up, but this media circus has been going on all afternoon.

Fox has been that way since the days of the OJ Simpson SUV chase. But that’s why they made a TV remote, and I used it today, to watch anything but the trapped minors.

Turn it off. TV is garbage. All brainwashing propaganda crap. People waste so much time watching TV.

I don’t want a break from politics three weeks to the day before this all important election. That’s what Saturday and Sunday are for.

Curious minds want to know - how bad were the farts down there?

It’s pretty much an entirely positive story. We already know, without regard to what happens in the upcoming elections, that America is more or less hosed for the foreseeable future, so why not take a break from politics and economics?

Amen.

It’s very touching to watch this.

These men could have died.

Are people seriously complaining at midnight that Fox is covering this?

I was irked too. Especially when they cut the all-star-panel short to go live with that lib Shep Smith.
