So Many Potential Terrorist Attacks, So Little Time

Reported by Melanie - December 19, 2005

Wall-to-wall coverage of the crash of a seaplane off the coast of Florida near Miami dominated the news on Your World w/Neil Cavuto today (December 19, 2005). David Asman sat in for Cavuto and I was amazed that not once during the entire hour did he bring up the possibility that terrorists caused the crash. Not long ago, I believe it was during a power outage in Los Angeles, Cavuto waited only minutes to suggest that the outage might be the work of terrorists.

(Alas, Fox did not disappoint - John Gibson raised the specter of terrorism seven minutes into his program, Big Story, which followed Your World.)
