Fox News reacts (incredibly) to the London attacks, and avoids the Rove story

"My first thought when I heard - just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, 'Hmmm, time to buy.'"
- Fox News' Brit Hume, 7/7/05

  Huffington Post article

"KILMEADE: And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 --believe it or not-- was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it's important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again."
- Fox News' Brian Kilmeade and Stuart Varney

And, try finding something about Karl Rove's admission that he talked to reporter Matt Cooper about Valerie Plame, in contradiction to his denials before the grand jury, on Fox News online. Go ahead. Use their search engine.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

Everybody else is laying pretty low, too. And hey, how about that London terror attack to take the focus off, eh?
