This is a pretty unsurprising story - everyone knows that Fox News Channel is far from "fair and balanced" but a new study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism says it's even worse.
On a winter day when bomb blasts at an Iraqi university killeddozens and the United Nations estimated that 34,000 civilians in Iraqhad died in 2006, MSNBC spent nearly nine minutes on the stories duringthe 1 p.m. hour. A CNN correspondent in Iraq did a three-minute reportabout the bombings.
Neither story merited a mention on Fox News Channel that hour.
But the kicker? That's at the end:
So with less on-air attention being paid to Iraq during the first fewmonths of the year, what filled the void for Fox? PEJ's report said thenetwork gave the death of Anna Nicole Smith significantly more air timethan its rivals.
