O'Reilly: 55 seconds, Van Susteren: 45 seconds, Hannity: 0 seconds spent covering shooting

Bill O'Reilly and FNC analyst Ellis Henican had a heated discussion last night about which story — the murder of Dr. Tiller or Private Long — was more newsworthy, and why each was covered the way it was in the media. The shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday was mentioned as well.

"Our news decision is based on what is important, their news decision is based on ideology," said O'Reilly. "Look, Katie Couric didn't cover Private Long. Charles Gibson ignored Private Long. Ignored it. Didn't say a word about it."

As for FNC's decision about how to report the Holocaust Museum shooting in prime time, it was mentioned for 55 seconds by O'Reilly, not at all by Sean Hannity and for 45 seconds by Greta Van Susteren.

1. Appears they do not wish to admit there are serious hate groups
on the right.

Since they need their votes, they do not want to do too much
criticism of them.
