TV Critic:Kidnapping Not Covered Because Fox News "Set Itself Apart" (they die who cares)
NRO ^

Bob Laurence, TV critic for the San Diego Union-Tribune, sent a letter to Romenesko setting forth a couple of reasons for the scant coverage given to the kidnapping in Gaza of two Fox News journalists (via Michelle):
... Fox has deliberately set itself apart from other news media. Starting at the top with Roger Ailes, the Fox sales pitch has been to deride other media, to declare itself the one source of the real truth, the sole source of 'fair and accurate' news reporting. As a result, there's not a reservoir of kinship or good will with Fox on the part of the rest of the news media. You can't keep insulting people and then expect friendship when you need it.
You stay classy, San Diego.

In other words, jealousy against the upstart who became the industry leader by breaking all the establishment's rules of propaganda.

In the meantime two lives are at stake! Leave it to a liberal.

Considering that FOX itself is barely covering it, why should the rest of the MSM care?

Fox is covering it in such a way as to not give the terrorists the propaganda they want.

Remember Jill Carroll? The press didn't stop talking about her. Fox is staying low to try to get them out.

You'll never see Mr. Laurance covering a story anywhere where there is a danger to his person.

Meanwhile Centanni's former co-workers at KRON4 have mentioned this just about daily. It helps that they are not tied to any network.
