Fox More Interested In O'Reilly Rerun Than Democratic #NoBillNoBreak Sit-In

Fox News didn't bother to fully cover the Democratic sit-in in the House of Representatives until midnight.

In the clip of the Fox News Alert, below, you can see the time stamp on the lower-left of the screen at about 28 seconds in, showing that it occurred at 8:31 PT, which is 11:31 ET. At the end of the alert, host Jackie Ibanez wound up her discussion with Fox's Chad Pergram and announced, "Now back to The O'Reilly Factor that's already in progress." On the upper left of the screen, you can see the time was 11:33 ET.

There were several more alerts like this throughout the evening. Fox finally went live at midnight. As I write this (12:45 ET), there has been an announcement that the House will go back in session shortly before 1 AM.

You can see that at 10:58 CT (11:58 ET), The O'Reilly Factor was still showing:

But at 12:00 AM, Ibaniez broke in.

And the news coverage has remained since then.

However, a screen grab of FoxNews.com just now speaks volumes, too, about the low priority "fair and balanced" fox gives this matter:

EOF, you got my envy that you have a cafeteria. Bon apetit my brother. There’s a bunch of Houston busnisses that play nothing but Faux on the lobby screen.

I keep telling myself to get one of those TV Begones.( remote controls.) just to screw with James Wadsworth the third.

It took a while for Roger Ailes to catch up with Paul Ryan to coordinate their message. 👍

All kidding aside, my [conservative] employer’s cafeteria plays FOX News all day long and when I went to lunch the first thing I caught was the sound of Ryan’s voice. Best not to show this stuff live, eh FOX? You need to digest it for the fanboys first.

So embarrassing for Americans in Italy, many of whom are lying low in order not to have to explain what’s happening in the land that persists in priding itself for making sure the underdog has a voice. Luckily, the Dems are living up to the values and principles that Americans pride themselves for but don’t necessarily respect, themselves.

According to a fact-check by Politifact, of a statement by our dear Laura Ingraham, over 85% of Americans would support an expansion/strengthening of background checks:

Aren’t politicans supposed to REPRESENT the people? Oh wait: lots of politicians – so many of them Republicans – rely on the NRA for campaign financing. By my book, the NRA is actually worse than Wall Street albeit only marginally. Well, let’s say “just as bad”, eh?

Anyway, these are embarrassing times.

Fux Noise will cutaway from Hillary’s acceptance speech at the Democrat convention to rerun Greta Van Suckup’s hour long BJ infomercial “Meet the Trumps.”
