Is Fox News exadurating the storm damage in the NE?

I've been watching CNN all week and haven't seen any bad coverage of the storm. Fox News is showing great suffering, is this right wing bias? Or is Fox telling the truth this time?

Update:

Is there a political spin on coverage levels by Fox or CNN?

    I think FOX News may be over dramatizing things slightly but the NE is still in bad shape. Snow from the N'or'easter has knocked out power for some people who had just gotten it back. An estimated 800 households scattered across the area of NY and NJ still do not have power. Gas rationing is occurring in NY and NJ as they've still be having problems restoring the supply chain (pipelines, trucks) to the gas stations. Consumption is also up sharply because people have been using gasoline to run generators to provide some power to their houses.

    NJ is launching several lawsuits against stores for price gouging.

    Note that none of this news even deals with the massive cleanup that must occur before rebuilding can start and even clean up will be difficult now that winter has arrived.

    Heck about half of this information can be found on Yahoo's front page - that's how bad it is!

    So I have no idea what CNN has or has not been showing regarding the storm damage, but trust me, FOX News is not the only news organization covering the situation there.
