Fox News Went 100 Minutes Tuesday Night Without Discussing the Republican Loss in Virginia
By Ben Mathis-Lilley NOV. 8 2017 12:05 AM

The biggest political story of the hour is that Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie went down big in Virginia after running a Trump-esque campaign fixated on inflammatory culture-war issues, losing to Democrat Ralph Northam by what looks like it will end up as a nine-point margin. It's the biggest story of the hour, that is, unless you're watching Fox News: As observed by political writer Chris Hooks, Donald Trump's favorite network spent more than 90 minutes in prime time on Tuesday—Election Night!—between discussions of election results.

Just before 9 p.m., Tucker Carlson read an update about the loss in Virginia and another Democratic gubernatorial win in New Jersey. At 9, Sean Hannity took over and slipped in a comment about why said Republican losses don't really count...

3. LOL. I kept looking from time to time and was amazed at how they were NOT reporting on it.

Alternate reality indeed. I kept asking my wife, do they not feel a duty to inform their viewers? It was the biggest news of the day.

9. Fox is not a news organization, they're like RT a Propaganda arm of Trump.

5. I periodically turned it on last night

to see if they were covering it yet...I never heard anything about the elections as if they didn't happen at all. Fux should drop the word "News" in their name. It is deceptive advertising.

6. Fox News' audience is too emtionally fragile to handle anything but fake news

8. Not on the radio last night either

I was heading home and got in the car right at the top of the hour. I thought I'd see what the local RW response would be. The Faux News news break didn't mention either race at all. This was at 8:00 pm MST, so 10:00 back on the East coast.

10. I remember in 2006

After the blue wave midterms, their top story was Britney Spears filing for divorce.

11. They now hold the Guinness world record for

length of time spent ignoring a major news story.

Congrats, FNC! You earned it!
