Fox News Gets Slapped Down By UK Press

As I posted HERE and HERE Fox News was completely callous in its' remarks when covering the London terror attacks. Now, it looks like the press in the United Kingdom is as outraged as I was. The Guardian had this today Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel was under fire yesterday for comments by some of its leading journalists in response to the London bombs. Speaking about the reaction of the financial markets, Brit Hume, the channel's Washington managing editor, said: "Just on a personal basis ... I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought 'hmm, time to buy'." The host of a Fox News programme, Brian Kilmeade, said the attacks had the effect of putting terrorism back on the top of the G8's agenda, in place of global warming and African aid. "I think that works to our advantage, in the western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened." Another Fox News host, John Gibson, said before the blasts that the International Olympic Committee "missed a golden opportunity" by not awarding the 2012 games to France. "If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares?" He added: "This is why I thought the Brits should let the French have the Olympics - let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while." I hope this outrage justifiably directed at Fox doesn't let up in the least. They have gotten away with their callousness and hate-filled comments for far too long. And of course the M$M in the US won't touch this story. Gotta keep protecting those conservatives don't you know.
