CNN and MSNBC preempted their prime time schedule Friday night to air the Hope For Haiti Now telethon. In addition, the following media outlets also aired the special.
ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, CMT, PBS, TNT, Showtime, Comedy Central, Bravo, E! Entertainment, National Geographic Channel, Oxygen, G4, CENTRIC, Current TV, Fuse, MLB Network, EPIX, Palladia, SoapNet, Style, Discovery Health, Planet Green, CNN en Español, HBO Latino and Canadian networks, including CBC Television, CTV, Global Television and MuchMusic. The event will be live streamed online globally across sites including YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Fancast, AOL, MSN.com, Yahoo, Bing.com, BET.com, CNN.com, MTV.com, VH1.com and Rhapsody, and on mobile via Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and FloTV. “Hope for Haiti Now” will also air internationally on BET International, CNN International, National Geographic and MTV Networks International, which is available in 640 million homes worldwide. “Hope for Haiti Now” will be available non-exclusively to all terrestrial radio stations around the globe and SIRIUS XM Radio as a one-time-only radio broadcast via the MTV Radio Network and Westwood One.
Missing from the list is FOX News. And what did the “news for delusional dummies” cable network air instead?
On his program, Bill O’Reilly aired segments about Sarah and Bristol Palin’s “body language” during their Oprah interview, an interview with Glenn Beck about his first year at Fox News, and a segment on the “collapse” of the “far left media.” Similarly, Hannity’s broadcast included an interview with Karl Rove on the Obama administration’s approval ratings and health care reform, as well as a segment on the Democratic Party’s reaction to Scott Brown’s election.
Fox is the same network that aired a grand total of 7 MINUTES of Haiti coverage on the night after the earthquake on its top three rated evening programs – Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity. Seven fucking minutes in three hours. Tens of thousands dead, 400,000 homeless and Fox gave it seven minutes. MSNBC in comparison aired more than two hours of coverage during its 7 to 10 prime time lineup.
On a night when every network in the country broadcast a telethon to benefit Oxfam America, Partners in Health, the Red Cross, UNICEF, United Nations World Food Programme, Yele Haiti Foundation and Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation, Fox News instead catered to its pathetic audience of dimwits and jerkoffs who no doubt believe that the known universe ends at the U.S. border.
No one should be surprised by such a thoroughly disgusting and heartless bunch of asses.

Despicable!
If people believe that we need to insulate ourselves from the world because of terrorists,then we are heading into an abyss we can never climb over. We need not take the chicken way out but rather help our fellow humans. If religion is part of this country then you will believe that we will be rewarded a hundred fold because it is the right thing to do
FOX is a loser station and those that insist on encouraging this channel are losers as well. The FOX truthe will never set you free.
There has to be genetic damage for people to get wrapped up into Faux News. Nasty, filled with hate people.
Fox is pandering to their conservative base, that is racist and hate filled. They are horrible.
I’m just wondering where that finger has been…
it’s hideous!
