CNN, MSNBC Carry Obama's Remarks at Dorothy Height Service; Fox News Does Not
This morning, President Obama eulogized civil rights leader Dorothy Height at her funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington. (AP story here.)

Both CNN and MSNBC carried the President's remarks in full, while Fox News stayed in regular "America's Newsroom" programming. The event did receive a brief mention on FNC prior to the President speaking and was streamed live on FoxNews.com.

Afterward, WaPo's Howard Kurtz tweeted:

Fox passed on taking Dorothy Height funeral, even when Obama was speaking. Is that not news? Other cablers covered.

No surprise there. Their bigot audience probably doesn't even know who a thing about Dorothy Height.

2. Hmmmmmm we never watch Fox but
At least Fox news streamed the event live which is more than we can say for any of the others. Sure they carried Obama's eulogy but Dorothy Height deserved live coverage of the entire service.

It would have been nice if the pundits just shut up and CNN and GEM$NBC carried the service. We might have learned a lot more about Dorothy Height.
