I caught a few minutes of the Fox War Channel several times during the day today and each time, the newsbabes were paying homage to those poor coal miners who perished in the mining accident in West Virginia (R.I.P.). I expect complete coverage of the funerals, complete with close-ups of the caskets and the begrieved relatives.
Question: When’s the last time Fox made ANY mention of the more than 2200 Americans who have died in Iraq other than to quote a few statistics, or to criticize those who bring the subject up? All of these deaths are tragic, but the “top news channel in cable” chooses to devote dozens of hours to the coal miner deaths while almost completely ignoring the other number, which is about 180 times higher.
