Fox News Nails '60 Minutes:' CBS Show Spent Ten Minutes on Palin, Skipped Reid's 'Negro' Remark: "Fox News correspondent Eric Shawn on Monday hit 60 Minutes for spending ten minutes out of a 13 minute segment highlighting negative dirt on Sarah Palin. At the same time, the news magazine ignored racially charged remarks made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Shawn analyzed Anderson Cooper’s January 10 interview with the authors of Game Change, observing, '...Most of the CBS story was critical of Sarah Palin.' [Audio available here.]
He explained, 'The story did not mention Reid calling then-candidate Barack Obama light-skinned with no Negro dialect, comments for which the Senator has since apologized.' This is despite the fact that authors John Heilemann and Mark Halperin broke the 'Negro' story. Shawn noted the segment ran 13 minutes and three seconds. He then broke down the numbers: 'That means that Sarah Palin was the focus for just over ten minutes, ten minutes and four seconds. Hillary Clinton, 90 seconds. President Obama, just under a minute.'"
