Quote:Who did? Your data is flawed here. According to the facts, Hannity had one 5 minute segment on it, Orielly briefly mentioned it in a overview. Beck, ignored it, and once he had all the information, took her side and supported her re-instatement.
From whence do you get this data?
Beck pumped it on his radio show earlier that morning. You can quibble about whether that's "Fox" or not, but it's certainly Glenn Beck, and he's sure not ignoring it. By later in the day, it had become clear to everyone that this was a land mine, so Beck took the tack of using it to attack the administration, rather than Sherrod. But that certainly wasn't his initial reaction, which was to talk about how some people just seem to want revenge, and how we're going back to 1956, only roles reversed.
Hannity went over it at least twice, once with Newt Gingrich (who said she absolutely should have been fired) and once on his Great American Panel.
O'Reilly didn't just mention it in passing once. At the very least, there's a Talking Points Memo clip where he references *himself* talking about it the day before - demanding that she resign, complaining that the Networks aren't covering it, etc...
Fox and Friends' Laura Ingraham pushed the story as well.

Afterthought: They also keep saying, over and over, that they didn't broadcast about the story until after she'd been turfed. Which would be fine and good, except that they have a website, and the times tell a different story. Fox isn't just what's on the air.
