But Fox News was pretty cool about making sure there was popular support for the Iraq war, and plenty of it.
Who cares about what happens anymore, when I'm supposed to each shit sandwiches like these.
8:30am (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News) MASS SHOOTER AT UNIVERSITY!!! FRONT PAGE!!
Information Released that suspect is Somali immigrant
8:40am (Fox News ) Police are saying shooter is Somali immigrant (CNN et al) Leaves up original page with update added that shooter may be a Somali immigrant
Information released it was a Somali immigrant, who is Muslim and praises ISIS, and used a knife
9:00am (Fox News) Information was released it was a Somali immigrant, who is Muslim and praises ISIS, and used a knife (CNN et al) Front page: Look! someone taught a dog how to water ski!!
The rest of the day Fox details the history of the suspect, pictures and supporting info and the others bury it completely.
This has happened numerous times over the last few months. Is this better for us?
What are the consequences of such publicity for a known terrorist group?
I do not know the answers, probably nobody does, front page of a news site and a newspaper is a thing of tremendous value and not to be used lightly.
The more interesting part is what does not get reported by either side, which is the additional say 10 murders at the same time in other parts of the US.
Indeed, the note of defeat in your average Fox News personality's voice was palpable.
They were washed up has-beens for the next few years and they knew it. In terms of a 24 hour news cycle that's eons.
