Fox News reporting that the Pope has died. All other networks

waiting for confirmation. Another example of Fox not being concerned with fact checking!Cnn pointed out the source Fox used also announced the death of Arafat two days early!

1. They also announced Bush won when he did not...in 2000 and 2004!!!

Makes one wonder not just about their sources, but exactly WHY they seem to know about what is going on before anyone else does...ESPECIALLY if it turns out to be true.

8. the White House probably knows already

and that's Fox's sources.

I'm sure the inner circles of the White House know the Pope's exact condition right now.

2. They are relaying reports from the Italian media

CNN broke the story in the U.S. initially, and has retracted it for the time being.

7. I don't think MSNBC did this - they didn't report he was dead when

CNN and Faux both were - I was flipping channels but I don't think they ever followed the other two channels.
