Good question.
Any time a journalist is kidnapped, goes missing, is injured or killed the elite MSM fall all over themselves with 24/7 reporting about the fate of their fellow journalist. We continue to hear about them ad nauseam until the story has drawn to its conclusion.
Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig are journalists. They were kidnapped in Gaza City more than a week ago. What?! You didn't know that?
Bottom line, if they were from CNN, AP, Reuters or one of the networks by now we'd know their names intimately, how long they've been held hostage along with every other possible factoid. There's a reason why these journalists are being treated differently - they are from FoxNews.
... 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.
Uh huh. Leftists in the MSM are that unhinged. The above was a portion of a letter from Bob Laurence, TV critic for the San Diego Union-Tribune discussing why there is almost no MSM coverage of the two Fox journalists. What's so amazing from that response is that they actually believe the very lies they themselves propagated.
Michelle Malkin responded to that leftist screed thusly;
First, it's "fair and balanced." Second, what news organization doesn't posit itself the best source of news in an aggressive media world? Third, Laurence and his ilk's inability to set aside contempt for, or envy of, a successful competitor during a crisis is a damning indictment that speaks for itself.
Left wing bias? They report. I deride.
