Why does Fox "News" almost flat out refuse to cover the Foley story?

Question

For the last 3 hours CNN and MSNBC started their programs talking about the Foley scandal. Meanwhile, Fox "News" is yapping about that freak that said he killed Jon Benet Ramsey.

Do they think if they ignore the story it will simply go away or do they know that their viewers are stupid enough to think that the Jon Benet Ramsey story is a bigger issue right now?

exert-7, and it only took them 22 minutes to start talking about it.

Nightwriter21- One is a creepy guy with child pornography on his computer. The other is a US Congressman, that championed several bills to help protect children from predators all the while being one himself.

I dont know, Im gonna have to go with Foley being the bigger story despite what Fox "News" desperately wants me to believe.

Answer 1

Damn Republican Right Wingers!!! That's why. No balance on that channel, that's for sure.

Answer 2

One moment you say CNN & MSNBC were 3 hours ahead in covering the Foley scandal, the next moment you are telling
exert-7 "it only took them 22 minutes to start talking about it.

How ever long it took them, who knows why one station puts more emphesis on one story more than the other. If it is for political bias, don't think Fox is the only one. I was watching Fox News when they were covering the foiled UK terror plot. It seemed like for the first hour, only Fox was covering the story.

Why was Fox News running the story nonstop for over the last hour, while CNN Headline News has only deemed it important enough for the scroll running under the "really important stuff," like sports scores Robin Williams falling off the wagon?
It seems like Fox News thought we were obsessed & CNN thought a lonely walrus at a Washington zoo was more important than what would have been "bigger than 9/11."

The only think "Fair & Balanced" about Fox news is that they present the conservative side the other station don't cover.

Don't rely on only one source for your news or you'll get only half the story.

Answer 3

Because Fox "News" is nothing more than a Republican propaganda machine. As a primary part of the conservative-biased media, Fox "News" isn't "news" at all; it's political pabulum that the Republicans spoon-feed to the ditto heads that have been brainwashed into believing everything that's "reported" on Fox "News", regardless of its lack of balance, objectivity, balance, completeness or accuracy.
The only way the Foley story will become a lead story on Fox "News" is if and when it can be reported (rather it's true or not) that the story was leaked by a liberal, or that Foley's indiscretions aren't as bad as some Democratic pedophile.
Fox "News" isn't "news" any more than the Rush Limbaugh show is a political commentary program. Both are nothing more than lies, half-truths, and Nazi-inspired propaganda. -RKO-

Answer 4

Where do you get the idea that Fox is not, and has not been, covering the stink that Mark Foley caused. In my opinion, as someone who monitors Fox news and CNN throughout the day, Fox has had as much or more coverage of Foley and the aftermath of his cause-resignation than any media I've seen other than the blaster blogs. And your ignorance through of facts shows when you miss the point that Jon Benet Ramsey's pseudo-killer is a legitimate news story today by escaping jail time for kiddie porn in California.

Answer 5

First, FOX news is pure republican. So they are not going to cover anything to make the party look bad. (Also, why do you think the gas prices dropped right before election time?)

Second, FOX news is partially (about 1/3) owned by the Saudi Arabian sheiks.

Third, FOX news is hardly 'fair and balanced'. If you have a view other than FOX, it is made fun of or degraded in some way, or just ignored.

All politics. No, all money!

Answer 6

you certainly could resign each and every of the socializing approximately this a sit down and study up in this. you have been programed that any information damaging approximately your guru is propaganda and not Republican's throwing a tantrum, actually the republican social gathering has stayed out of this and for solid reason and that they might in the event that they had to and probabbly show Obama isn't qualified. His mom basically by using basic arithmetic did no longer have sufficient time to fulfill the standards formerly Obama replaced into born. look heavily on the records posed on the attractions all yet one says certificates OF stay beginning and not beginning certificates huge difference. additionally each and every between the printed C.O.L.B records have been rapidly shown a fraud. The DNC published a C.O.L.B on their sight and it replaced into rapidly bumped off after it replaced into shown a fraud. at present Obama's press secretary replaced into answering questions approximately the place his little ones have been going to college and each little thing replaced into going all Blackberry until eventually a stated asked approximately Obama and his skills to be president. the click secretary in his way NO remark and stormed out the room. Now as to McCain and his place of beginning subject. there replaced right into a tournament filed over this McCain himself confirmed up confirmed each and every little thing the courtroom and plaintiffs necessary to work out and the case replaced into thrown out. Obama has never even shown a shred of data and not has shown up. and a few F.Y.I, his mom and dad quite met the skills to make McCain an entire blown American citizen. a protection stress base out of usa its self is AMERICAN SOIL see you later because of the fact the army has camp or a base set up. Thats the data Jack...

Answer 7

Mainly because there is no story yet.. the investigations are just beginning. You will see plenty of coverage when the dems are exposed for the vile thing they have accomplished. Besides, he has resigned.. should be the end of the story but, the mainstream media wants to keep it alive, mainly to attempt to keep people away from the voting booths. In other words, in collusion with the dems to gain the advantage.

Answer 8

maybe they can appreciate the fact that there are some of us who really don't care to hear about that political bull every time you turn on the tv. and as far as it being an issue...please.....that is what politicians are wanting us to do, allow them to rule our every waking hour so the can hopefully get a vote here and there. if the news would stop airing three hours of footage then maybe they would deal with there problems and get on with trying to run our country.
