Interesting. Faux News is ignoring the Holocaust Museum shooting.
Instead, their lead story on the hour is Karl Rove complaining about the stimulus package.


Bastards.

1. It is a non story... citizens, I mean no Aryabs or other darker skinned
peoples involved.

And sadly I am not kidding.

5. I'm not sure Hannity even mentioned it on his show today, and the shit was breaking at the time.
He was too busy focused on Rev. Wright and Obama-hate.

12. Seriously? Dude was talking about Rev. Wright?
Is he planning to try to resurrect that shit for 2012, when PRESIDENT OBAMA will be running on his 4 year record... as PRESIDENT?

16. How the heck did Rev. Wright get back in his routine?
Hannity needs some new material. He follows the Rev. Wright bit with 15 minutes on Ovaltine. It's gold, Jerry!

26. I'm not surprised
When I stumbled onto his show while driving in March, he was talking about "black liberation theology."

One trick pony.

9. Aren't they implicating the right-wingers by doing this?
Seems obvious to me - why would they point the finger at themselves?

11. Good..everyone can go to
the other stations and get the real story.

It's telling that they don't think the white supremist murdering a guard, Stephen T Johns, and committing domestic terrorism at the Holocaust Museum is newsworthy.

However I hear Shep Smith had quite a bit to say about it.

18. Did they not cover it at all!? Or just not on TV?
Someone posted an image from their website showing how racist they are.

Or did they covered it on TV for five minutes, then move on to anything else?

19. Well, nary a mention in the last 1 1/2 hours.
That's about all I can bear to watch.

Lots of coverage of Miss California, tho.

21. In their news update, the lead story was bad weather in Washington, DC.
Second story--that big traffic accident. Now back to Great, and the reporters in N. Korea. Apparently, they're not watching MSNBC or CNN, cuz they don't have a clue.


At this point, it's not even subtle.

22. I know O'Reilly mentioned it in passing, but only
because he's pissed that it's getting more attention from the other networks then the "Muslim terrorist" who killed the recruiter. That's actually what he said.

Aside from that, I believe Shep broke the news.

25. Is Bill O'Reilly going to try to claim that it was wall-to-wall coverage?
remember, he tried to claim that the only network to cover the "military recruiter" shooting was Faux ...

27. Well, at least publically they are ignoring the event...
...privately, those assholes are probably celebrating, just like when Dr. Tiller was assassinated.

JMHO

28. Unbelievable. Guess they don't want to upset their base
MSNBC was all about it all through the day yesterday. Don't know about CNN.

31. They're covering it at the top of the hour now.
Looks like there's going to be a news conference. Hard to ignore that, I guess.
