Does the Post Hate Fox? MSNBC?

An interesting question was raised during yesterday’s washingtonpost.com chat with Howard Kurtz: Why is it that CNN is the only cable news network listed in the Style section’s TV grid?

Kurtz says that “I’m sure it’s a space issue, but I think they should include Fox and MSNBC as well. It is probably a hangover from the days when CNN was the only cable news network.”

If it’s a space issue, then how come such channels as Lifetime, TLC and Univision made the cut? In this news obsessed town, do those channels really deserve the preferential treatment?

And, if Kurtz is correct that “It is probably a hangover from the days when CNN was the only cable news network,” what else over at the Post is still operating in a 1996-world?
