Los Angeles police are asking for the public's help in tracking down the man who stabbed UCLA graduate student Brianna Kupfer to death in a random daytime attack at a luxury furniture store.

This is another Gabby Potatoe story.
Seems Fox coughs up these side shows once or twice a year.
Why who knows 👋👏

This isn't a "counter" to other networks. It's an old school ratings grabber. Pretty white girls for whatever reason get bigger ratings. That's it. $.

May I ask, does it bother you having a single large outlet discussing the other side of these issues, from critical race theory to crime?
Having said that, I also know Fox News plays on its own base too, their own biases, etc.

I think it has everything to do with the victims appearance. (black, white, or otherwise)
Good looking people get better ratings. People are more interested for some reason.
It's our fault. (human nature)
Dead folks and the story behind them have to be good looking or else the public as a whole won't care and won't watch.

What is this FIXATION Fox News has over certain deaths of White individuals? White people are killed every day in this country, but there are some that Fox News picks up on and follows to the end of the Earth.
This week for example, it's a college student who was murdered in California.

While very important things were occurring that affects all Americans, Fox News was ignoring them today, to carry a 1-hour law-enforcement briefing on this murder. This has been top-tier FoxNews material for several days now.
------------
Similarly, around Christmas, it was some White guy who killed his White girlfriend, and was later found eaten by alligators in Florida. This "saga" dragged out as FoxNews's #1 story for most of the Fall.
-------------
Before that, during the late summer of 2021, it was some White lawyer who killed his son (or the other way around) in the Southeast U.S., that captivated FoxNews headlines for about a month.
-------------
Before that, in 2020, it was a White girl who went missing, and was eventually found murdered in an Iowa cornfield. Every briefing by law enforcement and plea from her parents, was carried live on FoxNews, regardless of what else was happening in the country.
MSNBC is obsessed with the January 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol, because they want it to lead to former President Trump. This I understand.
But, in your opinion, are these "White man or woman murdered" fixations, a reflection of what FoxNews ownership cares about the most for some reason? If so, WHY?

It annoys me. I turn on XM-radio in the car to hear the latest news. MSNBC is broadcasting the usual "We're closing in on Trump" trash. FoxNews is broadcasting a News Briefing about a single individual murdered in California...where many murders occur every blessed day.

Ratings.
Fox is still doing what all msm did before their Trump derangement started controlling everything they publish.
Doesn't make it right, but isn't all that surprising.
