Fox News won't take on Murdoch, News Corp

Fox News has decided not to cover the hacking scandal at News of the World and has accused the rest of the media of 'piling on'. Jon Stewart ridicules Fox for not covering a legitimate scandal that includes bribery of top police officials in England when they decided to make hay over Common visiting the white house.

Steve Doocy on the News of the World Scandal

Steve Doocy sits down with a PR guy who may or may not work for Rupert Murdoch and wonders why there is such a media scandal over News Corp and hacking when there wasn't the same scandal when Citi got hacked. Stephen Colbert points out that both Citi and News Corp got caught in the same sentence with the word hacked.

Fox News and its parent company

Some people may be surprised that Fox News is under reporting the News Corp hacking scandal, but it is far from the first time Fox has looked the other way at what its parent company was doing. While Fox News was scaring everyone about the "ground zero" mosque and its mysterious funding from a Saudi. They failed to point out that the 'dangerous Saudi' was the second largest owner of News Corp behind only Rupert Murdoch. It left the Daily Show wondering how Fox News could have missed that given that he's been on Neil Cavuto's show before and Cavuto spoke highly of the kingdom foundation then.

How News of the World scandal is being covered

Media Matters reports that Fox News is giving much less coverage to the scandal that is rocking its parent company than are MSNBC or CNN. CNN found a clip where FOX contributors discussed how they are avoiding mentioning the story. Stephen Colbert weighed in on the story and the clip of Fox News contributors stating that they weren't going to "touch it" in reference to the scandal. Which left Colbert to conclude that Fox News slogan is "we don't touch it, you decide".
