Fox News chose to skip President Obama's statement on the background checks proposal that failed to pass in the Senate on Wednesday.
The bipartisan proposal on expanded background checks, a move that is supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans, fell short with the Senate voting 54-46 against the amendment.
Broadcast and cable networks interrupted regular programming to bring viewers Obama's remarks, except Fox News. The cable network stayed on "The Five," where hosts were discussing the media coverage of the Boston bombings.
