I just tuned in to see what the cable news channels were saying about the terrorist arrests today and saw the following:

CNN was covering the arrests.

Fox was talking about Natalie Holloway(!). (Is Greta addicted to that story, or what?)

MSNBC had an interview Bo Bice from American Idol. (!!)

While I will admit that the cable nets often go nuts on a story like these arrests, but Holloway and Bo Bice?!?

You have got to be kidding me.

Update: This is especially weird behavior on the part of Fox and MSNBC, as this is more of a breaking story than I realized (I had assumed that being away from the computer for a while meant I was simply out of the loop). Along these lines James Joyner notes, in his round-up of the story, that AllahPundit of Hot Air also commented on the fact that “CNN is killing Fox on this, by the way. Nothing at all on FNC.”

Weird.
