FOX News Coverage Ignores Haiti Disaster

It seems that FOX doesn't like that Obama is coming off as an effective leader, so they're willing to ignore one of the biggest natural disasters of modern times. From Media Matters:

On January 13, Fox News' three top-rated programs for 2009 -- The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, and Glenn Beck -- devoted a combined total of less than 7 minutes of coverage to the earthquake in Haiti, instead choosing to air such things as Beck's hour-long interview with Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly's discussion of Comedy Central host Jon Stewart, and Sean Hannity's advocacy for Massachusetts candidate Scott Brown's Senate campaign. By contrast, the content of MSNBC's three top-rated shows underscored the significance of the Haiti disaster; Countdown, The Rachel Maddow Show, and Hardball devoted a total of more than two hours to the earthquake.

As one commenter put it-- it won't be long before FOX starts exhorting its fanbase to hate Haitians because tax dollars are being spent to rescue people who aren't white, don't have oil wells and aren't giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton.
