anna nicole smith videoThink Progress============== Hot topics: Ethics Administration Iraq Media Congress Election VIDEO COMPILATION: Fox News Devoted 12 Times More Coverage To Anna Nicole Than Walter Reed ------------------------------------------------------------------ Our national media embarrassment was again on full display on Friday. Both MSNBC and Fox News devoted more coverage to Anna Nicole Smith â three weeks after her death on Feb. 8 â than they did to the multiple developments involving the neglect and deplorable conditions at Walter Reed military hospital. The most lop-sided coverage by far was aired by Fox News, which featured only 10 references to Walter Reed compared to 121 of Anna Nicole â roughly 12 times the coverage. MSNBC featured 84 references to Walter Reed and 96 to Anna Nicole. ThinkProgress compiled a reel of lowlights from Fridayâs coverage. Watch it: Screenshot References to Anna Nicole and Walter Reed on cable networks on March 2: NETWORK ANNA NICOLE WALTER REED FOX NEWS 121 10 MSNBC 96 84 CNN 40 53 If you want to write CNN and thank them for their more balanced coverage, the feedback form is HERE.

The FOX channel was created by Roger Ailes to be a 24-7 Republican party propaganda distribution mechanism. It should be treated as campaign spending and any money spent by corporations on advertizing should count as political contributions. Comment by Peter â March 5, 2007 @ 10:14 am 5. No surprise there. Fox News hates the troops. Comment by chimpeach â March 5, 2007 @ 10:17 am 6. Support our Hoâs! Comment by Well then â March 5, 2007 @ 10:20 am 7. Well, as Brit Hume said, the problem with the Walter Reed revelations were that they made the Bush administration look bad. So Fox put those world-famous gazungas on the loop and hoped no-one would notice the real news. Comment by Dumb_Fox â March 5, 2007 @ 10:22 am 8. Ghouls. Comment by Zooey â March 5, 2007 @ 10:24 am 9. #1 Wholeheartedly agree - Fox has very little to do with credible, truthful news and, instead, has become a GOP propaganda spin agency. People have patently rejected Faux News and their viewership is waning drastically because theyâve been outed for the fraudulent charlatans which they are. This is precisely why theyâve copied John Stewart and added a comedy show! I suspect that this is an attempt to blur the lines of reality and truth in broadcasting when subsequent charges are brought against them for fraudulent broadcasting of the news. The real fact of the matter is that Fox News has now become the âposter childâ for the total exclipse of the 24 hour news channels of the mainstream media. Everyone has a computer and realizes that the television will no longer be the primary source of news and truth any longer; internet news brings news to people AT LEAST 24 hours sooner than television news so when people finally see something they already know the truth about on television, itâs either a âho hum - turn the channelâ or an outing of the news agency for obvious propaganda in the face of the facts which have already been acquired and researched by the reader on the internet. Egg on the Face - is a huge understatement for the complicit MSM these days. The mainstream media, aka political puppetry, is becoming totally irrelevant and is being eclipsed by the internet as a source of valid, truthful information. The old ritual of turning on the morning news in oneâs home has been totally removed from the repertoire of most educated individuals. Why spend precious time listening to obvious âspinâ, overt propaganda, or âstale newsâ?? Itâs a no brainer that news anchors will be out looking for other employment within a few short years. Time marches on and enlightenment of the masses continues - mainstream news (newspapers are almost extinct at this point and are folding all across the nation) will become a total albatross soon - and take the air-headed sycophants who are doing nothing more than prostituting themselves for a piece of the gravy train along with them. Comment by veritas â March 5, 2007 @ 10:25 am 10. This should come as no surprise. Fox is merely a masquerade for the White House propaganda machine. MSNBC has a few exceptions to the preference for sensationalistic coverage of news. CNN is not guilt free â it simply looks better by comparison. Comment by Marie â March 5, 2007 @ 10:27 am 11. On my honeymoon, I noticed that this ANS debacle was showed on television more than news that should have been considered important. I truly know that morality no longer exist within our society. We treat an individual who blatantly committed fornication, adultery and was a drug addict as an ambassador. Donât expect her to receive approval from God during the White Throne of Judgement. Comment by Daryll â March 5, 2007 @ 10:29 am 12. Daryll, I guess your heart didnât grow any since your marriage. Too bad. Anna Nicole Smith is dead, and she leaves an infant child behind. Please try not to dance on her corpse. Comment by Zooey â March 5, 2007 @ 10:33 am 13. Daryll, Did ya do your wife up the pooper? Itâs really tight!!! Comment by Well then â March 5, 2007 @ 10:38 am 14. I took the opportunity to praise CNN for their coverage of the Walter Reed scandal, but I threw in a couple of things. Glen Beck should be fired and CNN should stop morphing into Fox . The Turner years were the pinacle years for this program. Even Wolf Blitzer is pandering to the right for ratings. The more this occurs by anchors on CNN, the less we moderates will tune in to their âtruthinessâ. Comment by Jo-Ann â March 5, 2007 @ 10:38 am 15. Daryll, Your president lies, cheats, steals, did drugs, an alcoholic, why does he get a separate judgment from you? Aww because he claims to be a Christian.

Comment by chimpeach â March 5, 2007 @ 10:52 am 26. Eddie Burke ~ Hereâs a little something on your namesake from wiki⌠Burke took a leading role in the debate over the constitutional limits to the executive authority of the King. He argued strongly against unrestrained royal power and for the role of political parties in maintaining a principled opposition capable of preventing abuses by the monarch or by specific factions within the government. Do you emulate his thinking with regard to the Bush presidency? Comment by RUCerious â March 5, 2007 @ 10:54 am 27. Daryll, I guess your heart didnâÂÂt grow any since your marriage. Too bad.

Bush has violated the Constitution and through mis-information and deceit, gained near Monarchal powers. Comment by Edmund Burke â March 5, 2007 @ 11:02 am 33. Daryll, Even Christ can not help you from the HELL because of your hateful. Comment by yangho â March 5, 2007 @ 11:02 am 34. #28 - Those comments are not representative of this group.

Comment by Daryll Thats the super duper stuff about Christianity. You can rape, kill, destroy, murder, steal and lie all you want, but if in your deathbed you just repent, then you are allowed in the realm of Christ. I just remember AligheriĂ´s The Divine Comedy, where a couple in love had committed sins, but they were together for all eternity nonetheless and Dante felt jelous cuz he could never experience that.

He just likes acting like his god and passing judgement on people which I believe is a sin in its own right in his religion. But what else can you expect from a holier-than-thou bible thumper. Hypocrisy at its finest. Comment by dlet â March 5, 2007 @ 11:20 am 44. PLC At least I donâÂÂt believe in gods, and jebus.. So judge someone else eh you hypocrite! Comment by Well then Apparently you donât believe in basic civility or respect, either. BTW, I am not âjudgingâ you in a religious sense, but only criticizing in a secular manner. I donât engage in religious judgment. You had plenty of opportunity to apologize for your uncalled for comment to Daryll but you only compounded your incivility in your response to Zooey and now to me.

Comment by Juan C â March 5, 2007 @ 11:11 am As long as youâve followed Acts 2:38 prior to death, and have sincerely repented, then you are following biblical standards. Comment by Daryll â March 5, 2007 @ 11:23 am 47. As the world watches our troops die in Iraq/Afghan then injured troops come home to live with mice/roaches only to die from infections from the bites received the their open wounds Americans just change the channel. White House looks the other way as they use the money for Iraq/ war profiteers that was to go to our injured troops. Notice the Military General kiley said it wasnât bad and reporters shouldnât have reported it. Yet none of the people turning their backs would live in those dirty conditions themselves. Fox news puts Anna Nicole in headlines so the White House wont have a problem continueing their plan. Americans are more concerned about Hillary being to smart and Obama being black then to care about the idiot President killing our kids. Even Military marches are against those running for office while our troops are dying everyday. The mission is to destroy the Dems so Republicans can continue and STAY THE COURSE. Bush/Cheney/Rove were right to get Americans to follow everything they say even when it means killing our troops in the invasion and at home. Comment by Jackie Rawlings â March 5, 2007 @ 11:26 am 48.

So take your critique some place else. Zooey shouldnât have come to the rescue of Daryll heâs a fukkin moron. I wanna mess with him and keep out of my way. got it ?? Comment by Well then â March 5, 2007 @ 11:27 am 50. I actually heard someone on the TV guide channel say, âAnna Nichole has been laid to rest but our coverage will continue this weekend.â Unbelievable. DaryllâŚdid you miss Matthew 7:1-2? You didnât know ANS or her heart and her life and how she lived it was between she and G-d. And does your wife know you hang out online with people you both apparently consider to be godless? Comment by D'Lo â March 5, 2007 @ 11:33 am 51. She never followed acts 2:38. Second, how can you repent when you are unconscious from a drug overdose? Comment by Daryll How do you know she didnât get baptized earlier in life and she repented to god in her own way? You donât so my comment stands. Do you believe that a person can repent to god and not have a priest of whatever around? Do you think they are able to do it in the privacy of their own home just between them and god or do they have to belong to a church, give their money away to them and have a human sinner say they can now enter the kingdom of god? Comment by dlet â March 5, 2007 @ 11:34 am 52. Well then Referring to me as a âfriggen bible pounding idiotâ is one of the funniest posts I have seen on TP in a while. Obviously, you are a newbie. Zooey came to the rescue of Daryll because she is a decent human being and both she and I have given Daryll his fair share of grief and criticism. Again, you are obviously new to TP. Finally, if you choose to post here you are as fair game for critique as anyone else so Iâm not just going to âget out of your wayâ. If you donât like that, ignore my posts or find somewhere else to post. Got it? Comment by PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) â March 5, 2007 @ 11:37 am 53. As long as youâÂÂve followed Acts 2:38 prior to death, and have sincerely repented, then you are following biblical standards. Comment by Daryll Thatâs sick, Daryll. Comment by Zooey â March 5, 2007 @ 11:38 am 54. #28 Edmund Burke I thought you were talking about real people, not a few anonymous comments on a blog. I donât recall seeing anything posted by âShamikaâ or âCurlewâ since then. It could have been you that posted under those names, for all anyone knows. The third one you quoted wasnât even cheering his death. And how many of those 162 comments said they were happy he was dead? That doesnât look like âso many didâ to me. Iâm sure I can go post some hate-filled rants and âjokesâ about killing Hillary Clinton on a right-wing blog and then come back and quote them to you. Would that prove anything about right-wing bloggers? Comment by chimpeach â March 5, 2007 @ 11:38 am 55. Zooey shouldnâÂÂt have come to the rescue of Daryll heâÂÂs a fukkin moron.

I wanna mess with him and keep out of my way. got it ?? 1) You may not like Daryllâs beliefs, but making raunchy sexual comments about his wife are out of line. 2) Telling someone here to âkeep out of my way. got it??â is a pretty good way to guarantee that they wonât. And I wonât either. For the record, I donât share any of Daryllâs religious beliefs and I think heâs a hypocrite when he starts spouting off about morality. But, he doesnât say anything that makes me angry. Certainly not angry enough for me to be verbally abusive towards him and his wife. Comment by chimpeach â March 5, 2007 @ 11:55 am 60. Take a clue from this. The reason Fox has ignored this story is not simply that they are a biased network, but that they realize that this makes clear a major feature of the Bush/Neocon/conservative philosophy â the fact that they do not really believe that government should provide social services, even to soldiers. It is Hurricane Katrina for the military. What this story and the Katrina story have in common is that they show that Bush and his ilk simply do not believe that government should govern on behalf of anyone but the plutocracy.

What was suprising is that CNN didnât really do in dept reporting on the hearing, now I missed Blitzers show and he has been on top of the story, but every other show skimmed it today. MSNBC was more into the Hearing. The main stories today were the Bus Crash and other war news. Plus, the Ann Coulter and Bill Maher stuff. I guess I do understand the point of this article though. More news is focused on Anna Nicole. Well having said that I think Anna Nicole is dying down after the funeral.

Your arrogant religious judgement and commentary on ANS has nearly entirely derailed the thread and its subject. Fox âNewsâ would be proud. Need I remind you of another Biblical saying: âJudge not lest ye be judgedâ. You may hide behind your Bible but the fact of the matter is you made a judgement call on Smithâs soul and practically danced with joy over the notion of her in eternal torment. Way to go. Has it only NOW become obvious to everyone that Fox is and always has been a right-wing apologist machine? Not at the service of the White House, but in service to Rupert Murdoch and his ilk. Thanks to Fox, the Neoconservatives hardly need to spend any of their own money on campaign smears and obfuscation. Congrats to Fox for actively supporting a political agenda openly determined to send the United States backwards through time and space to the Dark Ages. Rewritten history, deliberate smears of people who stand up and question, half-baked efforts to appear âfair and balancedâ, anti-science, and worse are their legacy. Calvin would be proud.

I donât understand Christians who use the bible to condemn everything. The 1st commandment states, âI am the Lord your God.

Sounds alot more like cruelty and sensationalism to me, and compassion doesnât enter into it at all. And your cutsie line about the âallegedâ treatment of the troops wounded in Wâs war, let me ask you this: Do generals leave their positions and get sacked over âallegedâ situations? Hardly.
