FOX News has fallen back into their pre-”surge” days when finding news about the Iraq war was like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. A few months back, the “surge” started to show signs of improving conditions in Iraq and suddenly FOX News discovered there really was a war going on in Iraq. However, in the past week the violence has taken a dramatic turn for the worse, thus making arguments about the “success” of the Bush policies harder to justify. Some might even say there has been a news blackout on the Iraq war at FOX News, except for a few mentions by Brit Hume on Special Report. Instead, FOX News has devoted practically round-the-clock coverage to the Presidential races along with the usual “T &A” footage designed to arouse and provide vicarious enjoyment for the conservative middle-aged white males who make up much of the FOX news viewer base.
