Fox was interviewing a "frustrated" hurricane survivor in Houston. The guy complained that he was only able to spend $700 on his $2K debit card. He called FEMA and the Red Cross a "fake and a fraud". The anchor, Bob...., made the mistake of going back to him and asking "What do you want?" The guy had used the f word faintly beforehand, but in his reply said he wants "$20,000 to get his life started" and used the f word very plainly and loudly.
Hopefully this doesn't give FOX an FTC problem, but I can't see how it can be avoided. Fox may be strictly liable for such language, and may have to use tape delay in future for such interviews.
The idiot probably had a Red Cross debit card and didn't know it. The Red Cross cards were good for something between $400 and $1000, depending on how many were in the family. He has a woman with him so $700 would seem about right.
Hopefully he won't come to his senses and won't be smart enough to apply for a FEMA card.
It's really hard to be "charitable" when you see ingratitude like he displayed.
By the way, I'd love to see what he spent his $700 on.
Since you have to have cable (and pay for it) to get Fox News, they are not subject to FTC regulation.

Its the FCC, and Foxnews is cable... FCC rules dont apply.
