Fox News known for conservatiness.

Nope. Nothing political there at all.
Not a hint at all.

A "meteorologist" is the modern-day snake oil salesman. It's prettty sad that for all our technology, The Farmer's Almanac is just as accurate as the local weatherman.

When was the last time a sitting member of Congress was shot? If you dont find this "newsworthy" there are many other outlets for you to choose. :2

Of course the shooting was newsworthy. I just don't think it's breaking news when they put her in an ambulance and take her to the airport.

I think the newsworthy part is that she actually left the hospital for a rehab clinic.

Oh, and I agree that the news alerts on all channels seem ridiculous sometimes!
