TYT: Shocking That Fox News Wants To Bury This Story



"Fox News host Steve Doocy on Thursday lamented the fact that the media was covering leaked emails that proved New Jersey Chris Christie's (R) administration closed part of the busiest bridge in the world as political retribution instead of criticizing President Barack Obama.
