DOJ Gets Its News From... Fox News?

[DToTheJ]

At a press conference earlier this week related to the Times Square bombing incident, all of the television monitors at the Department of Justice were tuned into - of all the cable news networks - Fox News!

And.....waiting for what's even remotely noteworthy about it.

The point being that a Democratic administration had all its TVs tuned to a so-called "right-wing" news network. Ironic indeed.

A reason why CNN's ratings have 'bombed'?

Too bad McCain's not in office -- otherwise this thread might've seen more action (and maybe have been "Taken Outside").

Since HLN went all tabloid and the mothership leans toward softer news, yes, I can see why the DOJ would turn to FOX. Even though FOX skews right, as opposed to MSNBC and CNN leaning left, at least FOX covers the hard news stories.

While the current people at the top of the DOJ power structure would certainly be Democrats - like any large government agency, most people there are career employees who have been there from prior administrations - most of which have been Republican.

People read waaaaayyyyy to much into what is or isn't on TVs at one particular moment in time.

I rarely find myself watching FOX NEWS. It seems like the same thing over and over..Obama should've done this or isn't doing that. CNN stays on top of "all" news, not just this or that like FOX NEWS.

They stay on top of 'all' news, yet at the very bottom of the ratings. It just goes to show what people are interested in watching. By the way, CNN does lean a little left - but thanks to MSNBC and Fox, they can publicly claim a politically 'middle-ground' status.

I mean, come on, they have Rick Sanchez! :

It seems to me since FOX News is the most anti-Obama that the DoJ would want to keep it on to see what is being said about them.
