Will other networks follow?

Z on TV: Fox News says it will not cover burning of Quran - TV show critic David Zurawik on the show business, culture and craziness of television - baltimoresun.com

Quote:
In a bold move that is likely to be much discussed in coming days, Fox News said today that it will not cover the burning of the Quran on Saturday if Pastor Terry Jones follows through on his plan to burn copies of Islam's sacred book.

FOX is smart. The other networks will do anything for ratings---which they need by the way.

Now I suppose the Westborough manics will do it. They never let a stupid cause go to waste.

NO - FOX just respects the privacy of their most loyal
followers I mean viewers

And yes, it's been canceled -

I guess the church will just have to stick to burnings for
witches and homosexuals.

CNN kicking itself, they already sent Anderson Cooper down to cover it for a new 50-hour documentary. Now Fox will make them look bad.

Quran burning back on. Will the mainstream media follow Fox News' lead and refuse to air it?

You can go on Youtube and find Koran's that have been burnt already, if you just need some stock footage.
