From the comments...

It would be nice to have Fox News cover Obama's potential campaign, but he certainly doesn't need them. They need him.

Couldn't disagree more.  Obama is attractive to moderates everywhere.  Not only does Fox lean right many Americans perceive it as the only network that doesn't lean left.  Certainly when speaking of news/pundit/analyst personalities Fox stands apart as not being chock fill of libs.  It might be chock full of conservatives but it's unique in that regard.  Everyone from moderates to the hard right in the flyover states watch Fox.  It's simple reality.

Obama absolutely needs Fox.  For starters, he doesn't win Ohio without them.  And that about says it all.

(How sad is that actually?)

This whole Obama thing is actually very interesting.  Take Aske's story plus the Biden thing yesterday and I think we have an inkling of how much attention this guy is going to draw over the campaign.  Is it because he's a black man with a legit shot at the nomination?  Is it because he's a truly impressive individual?  Who knows.

I shouldn't have thought the first woman candidate with a legit shot at the nomination would be so completely overshadowed.  Unless Obama implodes I think Clinton will struggle for top billing in the press.
