Which network covers the Iraq war the least? If you guessed Fox then you may now refer to yourself as Captain Obvious!

Fox spent half as much time covering the Iraq war than MSNBC during the first three months of the year, and considerably less than CNN, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

The difference was more stark during daytime news hours than in prime-time opinion shows. The Iraq war occupied 20 percent of CNN's daytime news hole and 18 percent of MSNBC's. On Fox, the war was talked about only 6 percent of the time.

If this comes as a surprise to you then you have not been paying attention. It goes against the policy of the Bush administration and their mouth piece FOX News to give any credence to the reality of the damage that has been done to this country in the last six and a half years.

So what did FOX News focus on while their competitors were chasing the biggest story of the decade?

So with less on-air attention being paid to Iraq during the first few months of the year, what filled the void for Fox? PEJ's report said the network gave the death of Anna Nicole Smith significantly more air time than its rivals.

This also should not have surprised you.
