2. Scandal? What scandal?
I'm just guessing, although I saw that Fox had a reporter trailing Murdoch yesterday (I think from the Fox "financial" network thing).

3. They would never bite the hand that feed them.
I expect CNN to do the same thing...playing CYA for a BFF.

5. I've done a good job of making sure Fox "News" doesn't enter my household.
A little blocking on the satellite and a bit of magic on the internet router and it's almost like they are non-existent.

9. There was a thread yesterday that show Fox posting a screenshot of
the media matters website (or something like that) that had the Murdoch scandal front and center on its webpage. That was apparently the only incident of fox showing the scandal.

Here's an expected quote:


"The good things the News Of The World does, however, have been sullied by behavior that was wrong," Murdoch said.

"Indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company."

I won't link... you can go there if you like... most of the story is being buried in the business section. No surprise really.
