In particular, Fox News, the #1 cable news network and <A href="http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2009/09/30/the-call-em-out-white-house-targets-fox-news/">recent White House bete noire</A>, whose reaction and coverage you might think would be interesting.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2009/10/09/fox-news-awards-nobel-for-pumpkin-throwing/">It was, mainly because—in the 9:00 ET hour, anyway—there was almost none of it.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2009/10/09/fox-news-awards-nobel-for-pumpkin-throwing/">At the top of America's Newshour, Fox delivered a quick mention and a stand-up from outside the White House about the news, ending at 9:02. After that—with the news dominating other outlets, on TV and online—nothing. Crickets. Reports on the moon bomb, a proposed windfall tax to fund healthcare reform, and a Fox News reporter getting hit by a rock amid unrest in Jerusalem.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2009/10/09/fox-news-awards-nobel-for-pumpkin-throwing/">Finally, at 9:39, Fox anchor <SPAN>Megyn Kelly</SPAN> Juliet Huddy [thanks to <A href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/politics/obama_on_peace_prize_i_do_not_feel_i_deserve_to_be_in_the_company_of_so_many_of_the_transformative_figures_whove_been_honored_by_this_prize_139742.asp">TV Newser for the catch</A>] mentioned the prize award for (I timed it with a stopwatch) 11.1 seconds.
