Florida teen goes to Iraq for school project

FOX was all over this during the daytime coverage yesterday.  About 15 minutes of each hour.  They had the entire family on during their Dayside program

CNN mentioned it once in the 2 hours I had them on in the afternoon.

No clue about MSNBC.

Nighttime news programs did not give it much coverage.  Barely a blip on the 5-6-7 o'clock news programs.

This was the perfect daytime story.  Soft news, a positive ending, feel good and easy to cover.  The kid was smart, articulate and clean cut, as was his family.  They had good interview written all over them.  They were great when I saw them.  They were the poster family for middle easterners assimilating into the country and still mainting their own identity.

If the rest of the media wonders why FOX is slaughtering them, a story such as this is a big reason why.

CNN.com has it where you can read it without having to scroll down or go to a sub-section.

On MSNBC's site you have to go to the World News section, and it's not too prominent there. (You could say they're hiding it by not putting it in the US News section, where I orginally looked for it.)

I give credit to what the kid did, but I also think he's an idiot.
