Seems that some on Twitter have got their facts wrong Michael van Poppel of BNO News said, “Fox News declined to break into Christmas caroling by Huckabee to report on Kim - tinyurl.com/7l9xe3z”
Fox actually was first to break the news on Cable in America. Seems that folks out to check their facts before taking a cheap shot.
As for U.S. cable news coverage: Fox News’s Harris Faulkner broke in with the news at 10:11pmET during “Geraldo at Large.” Geraldo Rivera, reporting from Kuwait with some of the last U.S. troops to leave Iraq earlier today, began incorporating the news later in his show. Interestingly, Greg Palkot, also in Kuwait today, reported Fox News’s pre-produced obituary on Kim. CNN’s Don Lemon reported the news a 10:12pm. Wolf Blitzer, who traveled to North Korea last December, phoned in. CNN/U.S. began simulcasting CNNI at 10:23. MSNBC produced breaking news specials at 10:17 and 10:32pm.
