Fair And Balanced

Fox News style.
In fairness to FNC, when the chaos of a breaking news story hits, a news organization goes into FIFR (first in, first reported) mode–similar to what they do when school/business closings start rolling in. Since the dedicated RNC fax line is probably the one closest to the on-air studio (for convenience), that news would naturally get out immediately after reports from the White House and Congress.
