Continuous coverage, very respectful and laudatory with a lot of first-hand tributes. For the 10 minutes or so I watched there was no mention of Trump.

took over and I left.

Turned it back on 2 hours ago, and they’re still covering Sen. McCain’s life, with having lots of guests and commenters paying their respects.

They mention the Keating five at least twice every time I have checked my DVR.

They are very tip toey about trump in connection with McCain but run the thumbs down often.

Unlike msnbc and cnn who run the trump "he's not a hero" video, I have yet to see fox run it.

They also seem to be steering clear of Sarah Palin.

They have suggested not a good idea to change the name of the Russell building, go figure.

Also yet to here them whine trumps not invited to the funeral, although I suspect Hannity, Tucker and Ingram are already typing that shit up.

Eric somebody just said trump has not been gracious and demeaning to Senator McCain.
