He's keeping it off FUX GNUS because he doesn't want to upset the ignorant rabble that think he's God.

It seems to me that Fox is covering this story exactly as thoroughly as The Stranger covered the story of ECB being busted for shoplifting.

A ten foot turban? What the hell does that even mean? Even if "turban" is code for "Muslim", which is stupid because turbans are much more closely associated with Sikhs than Muslims today, there's nothing remotely resembling a Muslim angle to the NOTW story.

Absolutely 5280. Because those stories are equivalent in importance to one-another. Rupert Murdoch's business caught in a massive, over-arching scandal that spans months of illegal bribery and spying versus a person getting caught shoplifting. Once.

I absolutely see what you mean there. Slog has no room to talk.

You're an idiot.

Fauxies are basically American Taliban sympathizers who work with al-Qaeda USA (or the Socialist Republicants) to attack America, our Middle Class, our President, and our Government and help export US jobs and US capital to their fellow travelers in Red China ... For gold.

@5, nah. Compared to some of the stupid-assed shit I've seen you post, I'm not even close.

Actually, why didn't the stranger cover ECB's scandal?

Didn't the post about the home defending soldier murdered by the raiding SWAT team teach us all the 5280 is a fat fucking phony whose words hold zero credibility and should be absolutely ignored. His failure in that comment thread to live up to the very thing he says he is (or pretends to be) shows an utter lack of integrity or at least a lack of brain-power to be able to live up to his ruse. I bet he never was a police officer. Everything he says should be considered nothing but gas.

"Does the Fox News woman say she is not going to touch the Murdoch story "with a ten-foot turban"?"

Perhaps it means that only COMMIE MOHOMMEDANS would hate Fox news, or some such.

2,8,10, really, you guys are massively stupid if you think the two are at all comparable in scale and that petty theft counts as important local news. It's a thing that happened, but save that shit for the gossip rags. Was it reported in any other paper?

@11: "Didn't the post about the home defending soldier murdered by the raiding SWAT team teach us all the 5280 is a fat fucking phony whose words hold zero credibility and should be absolutely ignored."

I'd say most of his posts do that trick.

Please don't forget that 5280 shot a mexican teenager in the back. He loves fascists because he is one.

@13

Yeah, his rebuttal pretty much amounts to "I know you are, but what am I?"

@13 hahaha point taken. I'll ignore it from now on. Or at least try to.

The commentator banter aside, I wouldn't spring to attribute malice to their failure to cover a story most fox news viewers probably have zero interest in - how much do they pay attention to British domestic politics normally? As this becomes a broader international story, I'll judge based on whether they start covering it if the DoJ gets involved.
