Why is FOX always late on breaking news? As much as I hate CNN, I must admit for breaking news, they are always head of the game.

I agree. Fox has gotten very slow with their breaking news stories. They never interrupt their regular programing and I end up having to watch CNN and MSNBC for info.

Maybe they get advance notice?

CNN doesn't verify the news...they go with rumors. Bad policy.

I think it goes in cycles... My theory is that FOX NEWS is still recovering from their report of a shotgun in Manassas. Now they are trying to get second sources, to limit false reports.

Not last night. Fox cut to the Senate voting live and made the call as soon as 51 yes votes were announced. CNN, MSNBC and others were still on their primetime re-runs...

"Why is FOX always late on breaking news?"

CNN is a MUCH larger network with probably thousands more employees. Fox depends on their local affiliates for breaking news.

MSNBC is better at it, too.
