Mandela Memorial Not Important Enough for Fox?

Although I am not surprised, Fox News shows its disrespect and disdain for decency by not showing live the Nelson Mandela Memorial Service MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CNN are showing the event live, however. Meanwhile on Fox and Friends First, there is non-stop Obamacare bashing. What else? Maybe they are waiting for President Obama's remarks at the service so they can break in live and resume carping about Obamacare.

The other cable comedy channels aren't streaming it either so why would fox. They are after all its not a news channel but a comedy channel. Although I'm pretty sure Comedy Central will in the end have more coverage then fox.
