In that case I would have figured C-BS would be all over it.

They are talking about the massive failure everytime I watch the network news. So - I think it is more about advertising dollars. (she says again).

I must admit, FOX's coverage has been very informative for my purposes/

Fox News and ABC is all I watch so I agree with you about Fox's coverage. They, IMO, have stayed on top of everything and been very informative.

I think the main networks non coverage has to do with advertising dollars...

Actually, you're probably right. But didn't the networks have 24 hour coverage of 9/11 for a number of days after the event?

You think the same thing, anyway, but we all know how biased and conservative Faux News is on a regular basis. They get no free pass from me just because Shepherd Smith had the audacity to question the government's version of things, or because that neocon O'Reilly said that the oil companies should forsake their profits for a little while.

I don't think it has a thing to do with advertising dollars. They had wall-to-wall coverage of Reagan, the tsunami, and 9/11. They had their cameras ready to catch Bush fart last summer when he was running for re-election, airing practically every stop he made live. They didn't just wait for the nightly news to update people on what's happening like they're shamefully doing right now.

The guy I dont like is Sean Hannity. Way too right wing for my tastes.

Everyone on that network is too right for my taste, including the perpetually-surprised-from-all-of-that-plastic-surgery Mr. Alan Colmes. It's a shameful excuse for a news network.
