If Shiite death squads march through Baghdad shooting Sunni civillians, or if a roadside bomb goes off and kills 14 Americans, or if foreign hostages are beheaded why is that they will receive scant notice and Fox and no mention whatsoever on Hannity & Colmes? If Hannity spends the evening blathering about Natalee Holloway or the Duke rape case or that guy who didn't kill Jon Benet Ramsey why does that mean there was a tragedy in Iraq that day?

Mr. Boof, what the hell are you talking about?

They don't talk about the elephant in the room, either. Oh wait, that IS the elephant in the room.

I completely agree on the Natalee Holloway story, there was way too much attention given to that story. Peope disappear and are never found all the time, what made her special. However, I think Fox does a good job the rest of the time.
An Air Force major, who my dad once worked with, was abducted the other day, and was eventually found. CNN barely ran the story, while Fox covered it. When she was found, Fox has the story way before CNN. CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC all like to only cover the bad in Iraq (car bombs, IEDs, etc.) But I have have seen Fox run both positive and negagtive stories.
And honestly, people are killed everyday in Iraq. Does any of news from Iraq about car bombs in marketplaces even phase people anymore. I understand the need to cover the bad, but constant negative images quickly erodes public support for a conflict. Without showing the good, people will take the negative out of context. If you only hear about IEDs, it is hard know how many schools US soldiers have helped build.

Because there are hundreds and thousands of other news reports talking about Iraq. Some on satellite channels 24 hours a day. We all need to know about things going on in our own country also. That's why we have local news stations as well as global ones. Just look at it like this. What effect does it have to you right now today, that another person died in Iraq, if there's a pedophile living next door to you who keeps your kids all day and he's murdered his victims in the past. Isn't that something you want or need to know. There's things happening everywhere in the world and not just Iraq. I would like to know what's going on in my own neighborhood too.

Your right.
But let one solider do something as little as smack an insurgent and it's all over the news saying how bad that solider is. But by God you never here them say anything good about our Military anymore or about the brave men and women who are dying over in Iraq.
I say get the News people out of Iraq and tell Mr Bush and our government to stand back and shut the f*ck up and let our Military do the job they were trained to do so they can come home !!!

you're for sure insecure and are hoping white ladies are as jealous and keen about you as you're of them. such various black people in recent times (no longer all in spite of the reality that) have this fixation with white people's seems even as white people do not imagine about you as intensely in any respect. And lol @ y'all attempting to crap on ladies as an total so that you'll experience more desirable proper. adult men are notoriously jealous creatures yet surely women persons are hated for this.

Jeez... Fox covers Iraq as well as anyone else, but they don't dwell on it all the time. Your problem is that you don't know what Mr. Boof is talking about. And what do you have against missing white girls?

Maybe there's more good than bad going on over there, but the liberal media never reports that. There's more crime going on at home than there is over there. Liberal idiots are Osama's propaganda tool. He doesn't have to do a damn thing except sit there and laugh while he watches it.

If you don't like Fox, why do you watch? If you are aware of what their brodcast habits are, you must watch a lot!
