Chris Hayes Blames Fox News for 2013's Most ‘Over-Covered’ Story ("Knockout Game")
Mediaite ^ | December 24, 2013 | Matt Wilstein

What was the most “over-covered” story of the year according to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes? Thanks to Fox News’ “obsession,” the MSNBC host gave that honor to the “knockout game” trend that was apparently sweeping the nation.

Though at times it seemed that CNN was giving as much airtime to the “knockout game,” in which young hooligans were caught on camera approaching innocent strangers and punching them in the face, Fox News definitely let the charge. “This has been on Fox all the time,” Hayes said, before playing clips of Bill O’Reilly, Gretchen Carlson, Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity hyping it up.

“You get a sense of the racial politics and subtext — well, not even subtext — text,” Hayes said. Perhaps the best commentary of the “knockout game” coverage came from The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, who suggested we could get more Americans to care about gun control if we called people shooting each other the “shooty game.”

As for Hayes’ most under-covered story of the year? Climate change, which got “zero coverage” in 2013.

“We won’t talk about it except to say it is the most over-covered story”.
Goebbels would love this decade.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Typical LIB LOGIC(????)

Anytime there is a weather incident/disaster, the area is flooded with IDIOTS with mikes and a camera person/body guard and one of the most ‘over used’ statements is
“Stay off the roads and don’t come to this area unless absolutely necessary”.

All goes back to the ‘Yogi-isms’ (Berra that is) such as

‘NOBODY GOES THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS SO CROWDED’

Makes absolute sense till ‘parsed’....

Most over-covered? The media barely mentioned it, and when they did they said raaacists were making it up.

Well, that’s one way to get liberals to talk about the “game” of assaulting people.

I think Chris Hayes has been the victim of the knockout game a few times, someone as stupid as he is must have gotten himself repeatedly hit in the head otherwise what else can he blame for his own idiocy

Hey Chris, you racist idiot

How bout the public lynching of a very innocent George Zimmerman and attempts by your comrades to frame him whilst making Thugvon out to be an innocent little boy?

You are a fool to the infinite degree

I think the biggest cover up is the Fukushima radiation story. How big is it. Are the internet stories true in regards to sickness of animals and people? It is all covered up.
