I bet all the American networks are crapping themselves.

I think only CNN and ocassionally NBC have correspondents in Moscow.

IIRC, during the Moscow theatre siege, only CNN had a correspondent in the Russian capital. One ABC reporter had to be flown from LA... upon asking why, he was told he was ''the nearest ABC person to the story''.

Reassuring.

Are you sure?

Sure it wasn't one of those agency people Fox pay, and Sky just labelled them as a Fox correspondent? I'd be very surprised - nay, absolutely gobsmacked - if it were a contracted Fox News correspondent. AFAIK, they only have (outside the Middle East) one foreign correspondent, Greg Burke, who waits in Rome for the Pope to die (really).

Not sure why Sky would need a Fox correspondent anyway, given that their have their own Moscow bureau.

Ahh, ok.

Obviously a native, looking at her name! AFAIK, Jerusalem, Rome, and Baghdad are the only international bases that Fox maintain.

They used to have people in Moscow, London, and I think China, but clearly no longer.

I note they have changed their straps slightly. About time Fox really redid their entire on-screen look; it hasn't changed massively since their launch.

Marcus, it was me who said about BBC World. I admit I wasn't glued to it all the time


Frankly that is probably worth a Breaking News Alert in itself.

I thought you *only* watched World, Rob.

The First I heard of this Tragedy was around 0830 on Century 105.5 FM. I was surprised I hadn't heard about it earlier on Breakfast.

It makes you wonder who really is First For News.

No, wait for it....I watch ITV News too...shock horror! I couldn't stand just watching one news outlet - you have to get a variety of angles on a story. Wink
