Media Bias?

I link, you decide: Fox News buries the lede.

Some context: almost all news organizations led with this part, because it was a surprise that Bush agreed to take questions, and that he answered the question so specifically. Read the AP write-up here. They backed off this number later (see article above): "White House counselor Dan Bartlett said later that Bush's estimate of the number of Iraqis killed was not an official figure but that the president was simply repeating public estimates reported in the media." Still, the fact the president mentioned it was the most newsworthy part of the speech story, and almost everyone led with it. Except Fox. And Drudge. And, surprise surprise, The Washington Times, which saves the 30,000 figure for page two.

Sad.
