While MSNBC and CNN are following every movement of the British Queen's coffin, guess who

is covering the White House briefing right now?

Fox News.

While MSNBC and CNN have been saturating their airwaves with Queen Elizabeth, Fox news has been focusing on Biden and Inflation and Biden and crime, etc.

The funeral's not till Monday, and it looks like two of the major cable stations have decided to sharply cut coverage of US news in the interim.

But not the Murdoch station. It's still on Biden's case and the Queen's death isn't stopping it.

They also may not want to show Biden being well received and not actually like an ass.

I'm not watching any of it, so I'm reading all my news. It might become a habit.

The combination of Christianity and monarchy kind of creeps me out.

I am interested in the pomp and circumstance of the Queen's death, but I just turn it off when I tire of it.

Other current news here. Actually some of this and some of that is good. Too much of political stuff is boring too.

I know some DUers are not happy with MSNBC or any other network. They want people to talk about what they want to hear all the time. Good luck with that.

People marching and vehicles moving "slowly" or "tediously" through the streets.

It would be fine to give occasional updates, but to cancel the news like this is just poor programming.

... time. I noticed, during Jen Psaki's time, FOX was covering the briefing much more than the regular news networks. I also saw, on social media, many Trump followers loved watching the briefing - thinking she was funny. And, FOX would show an edited clip of Doocy seeming to look "strong" and getting the best of her... when it wasn't what I saw. They really edited the clips... she ranked him and they "fixed" it so he looked in control. They think the same about Karine Jean-Pierre. Tuckums often makes fun of her briefings.

I don't mind the obsession, but it is disturbing that they're ignoring everything else.
