On January 13, Fox News' three top-rated programs for 2009 -- The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, and Glenn Beck -- devoted a combined total of less than 7 minutes of coverage to the earthquake in Haiti, instead choosing to air such things as Beck's hour-long interview with Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly's discussion of Comedy Central host Jon Stewart, and Sean Hannity's advocacy for Massachusetts candidate Scott Brown's Senate campaign. By contrast, the content of MSNBC's three top-rated shows underscored the significance of the Haiti disaster; Countdown, The Rachel Maddow Show, and Hardball devoted a total of more than two hours to the earthquake

The news shows covered it all day long. These are commentary shows where they discuss various topics.
The Rachel Maddow Show and Hardball devoted a total of more than two hours to the earthquake and these are not news shows either. It is very clear what is important to these people and what they consider priority.

They had different ideas on what should be covered on their shows. I doubt it's because they don't care. Without making a judgement about either, I get tired of continuous coverage. I watch to see what happened, but can get the picture without seeing it all day and all night.

Yup, long interview and sucking up to Palin is more important than the destruction in Hati. Its sickening.
