Trump's propagandists really didn't want anyone talking about the Epstein files and Pam Bondi's role as pedo-protector.
As The Daily Beast reported, a lot of their viewers weren't happy about it either. Here's how they summarized the coverage:
Fox News alienated its viewers after the network ran hours of endless coverage of a high-profile kidnapping, which aired instead of a bipartisan grilling of the president’s top DOJ goon. [...]
Fox spent a few minutes of airtime summarizing Bondi’s hearing and playing a few particularly fiery clips, rather than airing it in full as other cable news channels like CNN and MS NOW did.
The network instead spent the vast majority of its daytime news coverage focused on the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper in Tucson, Arizona. The channel’s nonstop coverage of the search for the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie angered several Fox viewers.
You can read the rest of their article for some reactions to their ambulance-chasing of the Guthrie story instead.
In a sign of how poorly this hearing is going for Pam Bondi, Fox News has cut away from live coverage which is highly unusual for a high-profile hearing of this sort

Media Matters gave a breakdown of the coverage here: Fox News chose not to air any live coverage of Attorney General Pam Bondi's appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee:
MS NOW provided the most live coverage of the hearing, devoting 3 hours and 39 minutes to live coverage, while CNN spent 2 hours and 36 minutes airing live coverage. Meanwhile, Fox News did not show a single second of the hearing live, instead devoting most of its time to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
Murdoch's New York Post completely ignored the hearing as well. In a search for Bondi's name on the site, the most recent article as of this writing is from February the 9th.
