FOX News Priorities: One Missing White Girl More Important Than A Supreme Court Nominee Or A Traitor In The White House Compromising National Security

Last night, the entire second half of Hannity & Colmes was devoted to the "breaking news" about a lake being drained in Aruba as part of the search for Natalee Holloway. There were several FOX News Alerts on the same subject throughout the first half of the show. A discussion on the role of religion in Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' life and legal decisions received a fraction of the time. There was absolutely no mention of Traitorgate though it's obviously an important issue to Alan Colmes because he hosted Ambassador Joseph Wilson on his radio show immediately following H&C.

It's not like there hasn't been news in the Traitorgate story. On Monday, Associated Press reported that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card that the Justice Department had opened an investigation, then waited 12 hours to tell anyone else at the White House. Can you say paper-shredder? But that news went unreported while Sean and Alan and Jug and Beth Twitty, Natalee's mother and stepfather, analyzed the fine points of the Aruban investigation and whether or not it has been thorough enough.

Of course, the extended time gave Sean ample opportunity to show off his detective skills. "There's a couple problems I have with this (new witness') report. I believe it's probably accurate. This person has come forward late but we know that they lied on this point so that might help them. Can we (my empahsis) check phone records? Can we check the time of the chat that they had on IM? Have they been forthcoming in any of those ways to help you? ...Have we gotten any word back on those samples at all? ...Do we want to go back to the issue, revisit the issue of these two brothers which have been released here and yet we know that they lied and we know they obstructed? At this point in time, isn't it time to revisit their involvement in this case?"

Sean wasn't the only legal expert, of course. Jug and Beth were ready as ever to express their superiority over the Arubans and their sense of entitlement to dictate legal procedures. Once again, Beth revealed that she doesn't need a trial to know whether or not someone is guilty when she said, "We've been looking to - if I could use this term - to nail (my emphasis) the three (suspects) together at that time and so this would be huge..."

5. Is Greta Van Susteren Delusional?

Is Greta Van Susteren Delusional?

FNC's Greta Van Susteren took time out from her busy schedule of "reporting" on Natalee Holloway to give the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz a couple of quotes for his Monday (7/25) column. In the process, she provided readers of that column with a couple of real howlers.

Here's Van Susteren on Roberts himself:

"He's distinguished himself in his career, but there's no novelty associated with him," Van Susteren says. "We've had white men who've gone to Harvard and been at the top of their class and are smart."


snip


But wait! It gets better! Here's Van Susteren explaining why the Holloway case continues to get big coverage on her program while Roberts's SCOTUS nomination is virtually ignored:

"I see it as a lesson in how we collect evidence," says Van Susteren, whose ratings have soared since Holloway's disappearance in late May. "Far more people are going to be touched by trial courts and police investigations than by Supreme Court decisions. I would not be so arrogant to think that only the Supreme Court matters. More people now know about Aruban law than they ever did before."

6. It's Fox. Leave it be.

I don't think the people watching Fox would care much about Rove, even if they did know about it.
