thinkprogress.org— Fox News, the "pro-troops" network, devoted more coverage to Anna Nicole than the neglected and wounded U.S. veterans.

This is NOT something unique to Fox - it's a sad commentary on the state of ALL of our media, and indeed what the public deems important and interesting. Add the numbers up for MSNBC, CBS, and CNN and I'm sure that they'll be equally skewed.The whole country spent (and some are _still_ spending) far too much time on this.
Yeah, f**k freedom of the press. You guys can't deal...?Besides, what does one have to do with the other? I could name dozens of issues that get no coverage on any major network. But I'm not going to cry on Digg about it. Watch CNN if it bothers you. That's your right.
It's a multinational court case that includes paternity tests and determination as to where she should've been buried.Seeing as how that's extremely unique, I'd deem that news.
I am not disagreeing with you. f**king learn to read. I talk about Fox's bias and never said anything about it being right. I was responding to the claims that Fox News doesnt support the military - claims which are complete and utter bulls**t. you need to pull your bias out of your ass and learn to absorb what you read more correctly. An informed person cannot refute my claim that Fox is far more supportive of the military than any other network. It is a fact.
Marked as inaccurate because it doesn't reflect the whole story. It wasn't just Fox News that gave more attention to Anna Nicole than Walter Reed, the rest of the media followed suit as well. Fox is just a bigger target because of the sheer hate towards it from the left.
Actually it references FOX, MSNBC, and CNN's coverage as well. Fox simply showed--BY FAR--the greatest disparity between the two.But what does that matter?

Eh, I would be just as skeptical of anything coming from a left-wing hate site as fox news...though I don't get my info from either one.

Exactly. Is anyone surprised that a government-run healthcare program sucks ass? Is this really news?
