Scooter Libby gets 30 months

Paging Fox News.

After the news broke, Fox News devoted just nine consecutive minutes to the story up to 1 p.m. Between noon and 1 p.m. ET, Fox News did not interview any legal or political experts and not return to the story after its original report.

Instead, between noon and 1 p.m., here is a list of some of the more pressing news stories that Fox News opted to cover instead of Libby's sentencing:

The abduction of a Kansas City teenager outside a Target discount store. (Fox News returned to this story several times within the hour.)
A plane crash into Lake Michigan.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) recent comments about faith in her life.
Casinos giving away gasoline in order to entice visitors.
Record producer Phil Spector's murder trial in Los Angeles.
Lightning striking a house in Oregon.
A tornado warning issued for western Connecticut.
News that the father of JonBenet Ramsey is dating the mother of missing teen Natalee Holloway.
R&B singer R. Kelly's legal woes.
An update on the JFK Airport terror plot.
Cuba state-run television airing a new interview with Fidel Castro.
Foreign policy tension between Russia and the United States.
At the top of the 3 p.m. ET hour, Libby's sentencing was slotted as the day's fourth most important story on Fox News' Studio B with Shepard Smith.
