FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott informed staffers Wednesday that FOX News Media’s All-American Christmas tree would be rebuilt as "a message that there can be peace, light and joy even during a dark moment" after it was set on fire outside Fox News’ New York City headquarters.
"Earlier this morning, FOX News Media’s All-American Christmas tree outside our building on FOX Square was set on fire in a malicious arson attack. The 50-foot tree, which was just lit in a beautiful on-air ceremony on Sunday night, was engulfed in flames and smoke permeated the building," Scott wrote in a company memo.
"There were no injuries and thankfully all employees working inside the building remained safe throughout the duration of the fire. We are very grateful to the FDNY which quickly mobilized to extinguish the fire and the NYPD which apprehended the criminal on site, who has since been charged with arson, among multiple other crimes," Scott continued. "Our security team also did a great job responding to the incident immediately."
Fox News security spotted the suspect, later identified as Craig Tamanaha, climbing the 50-foot-tall tree at the center of Fox Square just after midnight. The Sixth Avenue and 48th Street location is in the heart of Midtown.
NYPD officers arrived at the scene and saw the suspect running from the location. They took him into custody before filing charges that included criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and arson. City firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze.

“Motive isn’t clear”??
Real simple...some BLM/Antifa/DNC person came up to this bum and asked “How’d you like to make a couple hundred bucks?” or “How’d you like a bag of blow?”.
It’s not that hard to figure out.
Should have tossed him onto the fire and been done with it.
L
Come on, he’s a professional in financial acquisitions and a law enforcement employer. He gets paid through welfare and food stamps and commits crimes.
Don Lemon’s personal trainer?
he must be convicted and sent away. These carry long jail times an he will get 3 squares, a roof over his head and hopefully the mental help he should have been given after his first arrest.
Faux News.
Learn from San Francisco before its too late.
Kissing up to liberals only ends one way.
One modification:
He looks like a
illegal 3rd world alien.
Leftist cannon fodder.
Joe wants millions of them to cross the Southern border. Cannon Fodder to riot, kill, maim, bankrupt state social services,bankrupt state education and pull the nation left for good. Joe wants to see Venezuela II here in the USA.
What you see is where the rubber meets the road in destroying US traditional culture. Its actually the Obama plan. Joe is just a dumb post turtle.
This arsonist will likely be out on New York States "no bail required" law,wandering the streets with a new box of matches.
Rather he should be deported so far that he will wonder why he is seeing penguins on his effing lawn.
I wonder what School he teaches at………
I deal with them extensively
They are campers
This is breakdown
Meth first
Heroin second
Crack third
Alcohol ....all,of them
Mental illness often advanced schizophrenia maybe 10 percent
Other mental issues common
But most live on street or camp to not work and get money however for getting loaded
Getting loaded is the whole goal daily except I suppose not freezing to death at higher latitudes
I’ve no clue why any stay north of Atlanta in winter...
I have a business with at times over 1000 who’ve made tent city in a park behind the commercial development
Woke Nashville tolerates these pests at my expense
Catholic Church and some others also enable them...
Put them on your church lawns then...pricks
Bingo friend of Biden
Leave it and call it the Tree of Tolerance.
If he doesn’t learn his lesson (with plenty of time in the graybar hotel), he might get someone killed next time.
Brian Kilmeade said “no city is safe“. Wrong, Brian. There are plenty of cities that are safe but they are not in blue areas, run by democrats. Too bad you were so snarky against Trump, helping along his defeat.
Holy cow it’s a fake tree — a steel conical mesh with evergreen boughs (perhaps also fake) tied to it.
I’m sure he has been. Under the bail reform law there’s no way they’re going to hold him. And if he’s homeless, he’s in the wind until the next time he gets caught for something.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/ny-bail-law-under-fire-after-freed-robbery-suspect ......... Gerod Woodberry, who according to the New York Post had been jailed for allegedly robbing Chase banks in several New York City neighborhoods between Dec. 30 and Jan. 8 — and then allegedly robbed a fifth bank on Friday, just one day after his release.
You got to share this!

"Slightly more than 58.9 million Catholic adherents and 20,589 congregations were reported in 2,960 counties across the country. The researchers found Massachusetts to be the most Catholic state with around 44.9 percent of population identifying as Catholic adherents. The researchers found Tennessee to be the least Catholic state with only 3.5 percent identifying as Catholic adherents."
Funny that you also mentioned Atlanta, as Georgia is also one of the least-Catholic states in the US. So Nashville and Atlanta seem to be doing just fine with their f'd up homeless population with support from their Protestant brethren lofl...
Tune into Fox News starting at 4:30pm ET today (12/9/21) for the lighting of the *new* Fox News Christmas tree! :-)
Definitely, as are ALL democRAT-run cities.
Fox News / Newscorp should move its HQ to Florida. That's where most of the employees want to live anyway. They all would save a fortune in taxes, cost of living, etc. Plus they'd be able to live in *freedom* for a change.
