I am a Fox News Fanatic. Watch it all day long.
Why are they not talking about the kidnapping of Steve Centanni and the others. No one is mentioning it. I really don't understand this.
They talked about Jill Carroll morning, noon and night. I emailed Greta and asked her? She didn't answer my question. She just said, "no, they have not been released yet." Am I just stupid and missing something here?

Bon - Fox News has been told specifically that they are not to report on this in anyway, that they are not to even mention it. I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but I read that on the Drudge Report yesterday.

I'm trying to find it - they seem to have taken it down.

They have mentioned it, but just not much. Shep talked about it on the Fox Report last night.

This was linked from Drudge the first day, an email from the Fox News Senior VP.

Fox News employees kidnapped: Around-the-clock updates

Please keep Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig in your thoughts and prayers.

FNCers Kidnapped In Gaza: "Pray For Their Release. I Will Keep You Posted" --Moody
FNC senior VP John Moody's internal message to Fox News personnel about the kidnapping:

"The rumors are true: two of our employees have been abducted in Gaza. We will report this fact via our Israel correspondents. Do NOT do any other segments on it. Do not book guests on this topic. Do not comment officially and of course, not on the air, about it. DO pray for their release. I will keep you posted."


If you'll go to the link above under "Around-the-clock updates" you can get more info than I've found anywhere else. Also, you can click on August 2006 under Archives and see the earlier reports, somewhere I believe it talks about why Fox News isn't reporting much on it, which seems to be a smart move, although frustrating to worried fans.

I think I'll also post this in the thread about the kidnapping in case people who are interested in this don't check this thread.

Anyway, hope this helps some.
