At about 2:55 pm Pacific Time, that Leprechauny looking news guy on Faux News, I think his name is Eric Shawn (sp?) read some sort of apology having to do with some sort of infographic that aired on Special Report yesterday.

Apparently it had something to do with an improving economy during times of crises in America. Leprechaun boy said it didn't provide any context and was insensitive but didn't go into any details. I checked the FauxNews website and didn't see anything about it. Anybody got any info on it?

Not sure why the apology, but yesterday they had a graphic that showed a correlation between previous protest (Fredie Grey ?sp ... and others) and growth in the stock market.

I believe it was a graph of market rebounds after major events.

Some folks on Twitter were complaining about it. But it was just factual information. Evidently Jack was right.

That is interesting. I don’t understand why Leprechaun Boy didn’t put it into context. Or would putting into context be even more insensitive?

Probably this.

From Mark Levin’s FB page:

A “peaceful protestor” just now interviewed on Fox warned if he doesn’t get what he wants from DeBlasio and Cuomo he will burn the stores in the Diamond district of New York. Many if not most of those stores are owned by Orthodox Jews. Despite the overwhelming evidence, the anti-Semitic nature of this movement is being utterly ignored by major newsrooms throughout the country — including the Holocaust denying New York Times and Washington Post. CNN, MSNBC, and the major television networks have also ignored it. To his credit, Fox host Eric Shawn immediately denounced the on-air threat. Hat’s off to him.

Shawn mentioned some sort of inforgraphic but didn’t show the offending chart or whatever it was.

If I remember correctly that Susan Li, whom I don’t like, I’m sorry, put numbers up exactly as mentioned.

And I was offended and I don’t know why, but she appeared to me, to be saying, “this recovery is no big deal.”

I may be wrong because I am biased against her.

"probably said “all lives matter”

If they had said that, the cable and satellite distributors would have banned them already, and youtube would have deleted all references.

I think they said some non-black lives matter a little bit.

Just a half hour ago, I was watching an on-the-scene Fox reporter...don’t know her name. She said the same guy just approached her and voiced the same threat. “Gas is cheap” he said. A little spooky.

The police have taken the “gas is cheap” guy away for what I presume is a little chat.

Just reported on Fox.
