As I've mentioned before on NewsBusters, I subscribe to e-mailed "breaking news" alerts from both Fox News and CNN.
Today I got this from Fox News, sent at 10:52 EDT Eastern:
GUANTANAMO SUSPECT HAS CONFESSED TO PLANNING USS COLE ATTACK, U.S. EMBASSY BOMBINGS, PENTAGON SAYS
**Watch FOX News Channel or go to http://foxnews.com for more
No such update from CNN. I checked both CNN.com and FoxNews.com at 12:30 EDT and found nothing on CNN's front page, but found this as the second-from-top headline over at FoxNews.com:
Confession to USS Cole Bombing
Al Qaeda operative Waleed Mohammed Bin Attash confesses that he plotted 2000 bombing of USS Cole that killed 17 sailors
Instead, here's the list of CNN's top stories, aside from the new Airbus A380 jumbo jet landing at JFK Airport in New York:
