Study show FOX covering war less than CNN, MSNBC, others

A new independent study shows that FOX News is covering the war in Iraq far less than its competitors. The cynic in me would say that FOX doesn't want to cover news that reflects badly on the Bush administration. Hell, they could have broadcast happy stories had they wanted to. But they didn't. And in fact, news networks tend to like to cover "bad" news - as Walter Cronkite, or someone, once said, nobody wants to hear about the kitten that didn't get stuck in the tree. With that in mind, Iraq is a perfect story for what makes news. And in any case, we're at war. Bush and the Republicans always like to remind us of that fact. But their network of choice is less interested in covering the war. Odd.

It would be interesting to see how much FOX covered the war when it thought things were going well the, first year or two.
