Fox is rapidly becoming the default news network for major breaking events. The day Michael Jackson died, everyone turned to CNN. That used to be almost a cliche: “Hey, something big just happened, turn on CNN.”

That is no longer the case, and there are two possible reasons:
1. Most people are Republicans, so they turn to the Republican network (This is obviously not true, the country is split 50-50)
2. More people trust Fox to get it right than any other network.

I think ABC also deserves credit, as does Matt Laur, for being responsible and mentioning the Muslim aspect and the religious utterance Hassan made prior to the shooting. It is not politically incorrect to mention the man is a Muslim any more than it is incorrect to mention that a drunk driver who just killed someone is an illegal alien. If you choose not to include all the facts, then include none of the facts, turn out the lights and shut down the office, because you are finished.

If people like Jake Tapper, the outgoing Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolis are any indication of how ABC runs its news operation, they will eventually become the top-rated broadcast operation just as Fox has taken over the cable race.
