Fox News tried to hush Romney's comments as long as possible

I sent a funny haha text to a Republican buddy last night trying to rile him up about Romney's version of the 47% in America.  He had no clue what I was talking about.  I jokingly text back saying "that's because Fox News hasn't told you about it yet."

I could not have been more right
When video of Mitt Romney dismissing 47 percent of American voters surfaced this afternoon, many media outlets found the surprising video newsworthy. Fox News, however, buried the remarks until forced to cover Romney's follow-up press conference late in the evening.

[...]

CNN found this newsworthy, as did MSNBC. Fox News, however, ignored the story from 4 pm, when the video was released, until after 10 pm, when Romney addressed the video in a press conference.
Even then, in a segment during On the Record, Fox declined to show the actual footage of Romney at the fundraiser, or even quote from his statements. Instead, only Romney's press conference defending his remarks was aired.
