Guess what the Fox News website says about the Newscorp scandal in the UK? |
|
Aw, you guessed it. Nothing!
Not a single mention in all of it's fair and balanced pages. Not even in the Europe news section.
Just thought it should be noted.

1. Well, Fox is "fair 'n balanced" |
|
And since there's TONS of news about Murdoch, Fox decided to 'balance' that with ZERO news about Murdoch.

2. Wow...not even trying to blame the "left" for it? |
|
Because we know somehow, some way they're behind this! :sarcasm:

5. You say that with sarcasm, but I'm going to cry with laughter when... |
|
they simply can't ignore it anymore and do indeed figure out a way to claim the left is responsible for their criminal, immoral, unethical and generally evil and twisted methods. I can't imagine them not at least giving it a try.

...you can find a few articles buried in the financial section. Not on the front page, mind you, but available for searching.

4. Some of the more intelligent Republicans can't help but learn of the |
|
scandal in Britain. They'll be wondering why the silence on Fox here in the U.S. They'll put two and two together..... Fox will be losing more customers, and the news is bound to spread. The severely brain-washed ones, of course, are beyond hope.

6. And where they stepped in it isn't with the royals, politicians or movie stars. |
|
I don't think average Fox viewer in America cares one whit if those types of people are hacked. But what they did to victims of crime and their actions that impeded investigation of a child's murder? THAT has the potential to sink Fox with their base.

7. I agree with your thoughts -- especially with the murder of the two-year-old |
|
Caylee having received such intense coverage here in the U.S.
I just read your profile and see that you're from Florida. I have just written a post on Grayson running again. I hope he wins big this time. He'll be fighting for the middle-class.

8. Except for having to live in Orlando I'd love to have him as my rep. |
|
I'm very excited he's running again. With Scott's popularity declining hourly I think Grayson stands a really good chance of winning his seat back. I know several people in his district who have experienced the phenomenon of the scales falling away from the eyes.

11. There was another Dem. rep. from Florida whom I admired - Wexler. |
|
Too bad that he quit politics altogether. I never knew why. Too dirty for him? Just imagine if he and Grayson were both reps. at the same time. What a dynamic team they would have made!! I don't live in FL, but I supported both of them, and will support Grayson again.

10. Oh, come on. That's not fair. |
|
Here's a story posted just today on the scandal: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/07/12/british-prime-minister-offers-sympathy-to-former-rival/"> http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/07/12/british-prime-minister-offers-sympathy-to-former-rival/Of course, it's an AP story, so Fox devoted no editorial resources to reporting it. And all you have to do to find it is scroll down to the World section on the Home page (about 3/4 of the way down) and click on the third bulleted headline in that section. See? Easy to find!

12. I'm sure it's just an oversight on their part, |
|
give them a call I'm sure they will fix the oversight.
You may even get one of those rewards for being the first to call in a story!
