Nicole Hemmer, who recently wrote a book about conservative media, "Messengers of the Right," said Fox's "inattention to the breaking news of the day was startling" on Tuesday. "As someone who turns on Fox to watch breaking news coverage," Hemmer said, "I found myself switching over to CNN, because my hunger for any analysis was going unmet at Fox. And this represents a real problem going forward for the network: What happens when a network chooses not to cover the story everyone is talking about? Fox's ratings are down lately, and I think that could very well be connected to the lack of attention to breaking stories."
