Fox is glossing over a lot of news because it's not what they want to tell their audience, what they think their audience wants to hear. A lot of Fox shows have slipped out of the top spot, because even some Fox viewers want to know what's happening, and Fox isn't delivering.

I don't know if Fox viewers are migrating to MSNBC or CNN, but they're not watching Fox. Maybe they've decided to hunker in the bunker and wait out the apocalypse?
