Comcast Close To Buying NBC
Or at least trailblazing ones who changed American society
As 4,000 people gathered in Detroit to pay their final respects to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks during four hours of her funeral ceremony on November 2, Fox News devoted just 23 minutes of air time to live coverage, compared with 108 minutes of coverage on CNN and 100 on MSNBC. Dozens of politicians and business and religious leaders participated in the funeral ceremony for Parks at Greater Grace Temple.
Sad.

1/4th the time for what they’d consider 3/5th’s a vote! /sarcasm
Read all about the New Apple Dumpling Gang. They can’t shoot straight without Rove micromanaging Bush’s bathroom visits.

…dozens of students locked arms around a flagpole in the Quadrangle, a designated forbidden zone at the center of the campus, and refused to move despite warnings from campus security that Secret Service rooftop snipers might open fire on them.
What a bonehead. Rules of thumb: “Turn off that camera!” almost never works, and Secret Service snipers have better things to do than kill students engaged in a protest.
Oh, and Semantic? The article was about the University Police and Administration, not Bush or his people, though fortunately for you the author did come around and manage to blame him in the next-to-last sentence.
Oliver,
Can we really say that Fox News doesn’t like “black people” because of the amount of coverage that they gave for the funeral for Rosa Parks? Believe me, some of the conservative babble that I hear from H&C, and O’Reilly gets on my nerves, but I think this is a far stretch. Oliver, don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that there is no bias out there, but is this really blogworthy?
This just fits in nicely with Oliver pointing out that they did not cover Ms. Parks lying in state, when in fact, they did.
And the fact that the coverage was several hours, except for a sixty minute taped show; and that CNBC did the exact same thing.
Dkelsmith:
When your paycheck comes from a far-left fringe media “watchdog” group any criticism of Fox, no matter how specious it is just as this is, is blogworthy.
Fox featured very little coverage of the funeral of a significant American icon who happens to have been a black liberal. I think that’s noteworthy.
Besides I see more black people on Fox TV nightly than I see within the Democratic Party elite power structure. Do they also not like blacks?

Perhaps noteworthy, perhaps not, Oliver. But, one thing that I caution you, and other members of my race about is making such a huge deal out of something like air time for Rosa Parks instead of making more of a concerted effort to fix the problems that are not external to our communities. If we are talking race, don’t get me wrong I am not one of those Ward Connerly types even though I disagree with you about a lot of things. I’m not going to bore everyone with the same old “bootstraps” anecdotes either. But, what is the significance about the amount of press coverage in regard to the quality of the coverage? Just my opinion, though.
I wonder how much of it was covered on C-SPAN? I don’t bother with major news organizations having substative and meaningful coverage of anything, regardless if it gets 1 hour or 1 year of coverage (Natalie Halloway, OJ case.:( Frankly sir, I don’t give a shit.
