The men are still alive. Fox showed a video of them. Jennifer Griffen has been working on their story and towards their release. She made the point that they were the only two journalists left in Gaza, the other networks having pulled their people out for the Lebanon war. She explained that the stories Centanni was doing covered the suffering of Palestinians, and if journalists were going to be held hostage, that story was not going to get out. foxnews.com

Look if they were from CNN, AP, Reuters or one of the networks by now we'd know their names intimately, how long they've been held hostage along with every other possible factoid. There's a reason why these journalists are being treated differently - Left wing bias! Everything Will Change Now By Cori Dauber Rantingprofs A quick note -- did you wonder about the difference in the amount of attention given to the kidnapped Fox journalists compared to Jill Carroll? I mentioned it here. Well, the group holding the two has wised up: no claim of responsibility -- more important, no visuals -- no attention. So they've released footage of the two men along with the requisite demands. MSNBC covered that before going to JonBenet rehash -- er, updates -- at 10 am. I will now point out what I pointed out with Ms. Carroll, however: you will not see the families being interviewed, exploited for the purposes of what George Will called "the pornography of grief." They've made taped statements, which seem pretty clearly coached by someone based on what might help get their family members back -- not on what works best for the US media. Does the media treat their own differently? You do the math. rantingprofs.com msnbc.msn.com
