A site dedicated to chronicling the hilarity of what FOX considers newsworthy versus other mainstream media. (Note: All headlines are the FRONT page story taken from the most prominent headline featured on the respective news site and all screen shots are taken at the same time.)

Myanmar... Iraq or.... a 6 year old girl....?
The greatest part about today is the fact that Fox, in addition to ignoring the major news is reporting a non issue. The family was not actually fined and in the text of the article, it actually says that the family was issued a form letter which is standard procedure for all complaints and the city councilman was even quoted as saying, "It was never the intent of my law to capture chalk drawings on the sidewalk". This really is a non-issue. So why is it on the front page of a national media source? Even better is the fact that only 10 minutes after they posted the headline, they changed it to this: How is a form letter sent because it had to be sent... which basically was passed off as an "oops, our bad" by the city "Street Terror"?
