To be fair and balanced, FNC did report the death of the North Korean
dictator on "Geraldo at Large" (and MSNBC barely stopped their weekend
prison docs regimen), but while CNN blew out the schedule to report
the death, called in Wolf Blitzer and had Christiane Amanpour back to
offer her analysis (and BBC World News blew out their recorded weekend
programming), Uncle Roger was offering "Huckabee," with the host
singing "Merry Christmas, Baby" with the Marshall Tucker Band:

This morning before leaving the house BBCWN was still focusing on the
death (although not pre-empting the bottom-of-the-hour business,
"sport" and feature programmes or "HardTALK"), CNN and HLN were the
only ones leading with Korea (yes, even perky Robin Meade's "Morning
Express"), while the show after Scarborough on MSNBC was leading with
the Iowa caucuses and FNC had John Fund of the American Spectator
complaining about Barack Obama.
