Surprised? Fox News dismisses phone-hacking
This, from Fox News last night this morning comes as no surprise.
To their credit, the Sky News coverage has been completely different in tone and depth.
Update: CNN also covered how Fox News has ignored the scandal (via @am4eo)

Well no, and as it’s not surprising, it’s news precisely…why?
[/tongue in cheek]
Fox and Friends is the FNC breakfast offering, and Steve Doocy (the one asking the suitably loaded questions) is one of the three regular hosts. I did look at this morning misinformation machine back when Warren Buffett had made favourable noises about health care reform:
and the way he was misrepresented was pretty bad, but all done with a straight face.
Didn’t Fox News dodge a lawsuit by claiming to be purely for entertainment purposes?
He’s deliberately confusing phone hacking, with computer hacking.
It’s just Fox News being fair and balanced again! (smile)
John Ruddy: they’re also, and much more insidiously, creating the impression for the average Fox viewer that the NotW was a victim of a hack, not a perpetrator thereof. Every single other entity and instance mentioned in the entire slot is a victim of cyber espionage or vandalism. The NotW was a perpetrator.
That was truly professional work by the Fox team, there. Very clever, in a purely craft-skills-of-propaganda sense.
