The graph showed stock market gains after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the police killings of Michael Brown and George Floyd.

Fox News apologized Saturday after showing an infographic on-air that depicts the stock market's reaction to high profile killings of black men including the recent death of George Floyd.

The graph aired on Friday during Fox's live news coverage and showed positive stock market changes one week after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the police killings of Michael Brown and George Floyd, who were both unarmed when they lost their lives to white officers. The bar graph also showed a 1.2% positive change after the acquittal of two white men facing trial in the brutal 1992 beating of Rodney King. The information listed in the graphic included “percentage change” in the S&P 500 market “one week after event.”

A Fox News spokesperson told USA TODAY in a statement that the graph shouldn't have aired without more information being added.

The only reason they are apologizing is that they got caught. You know someone spent time putting this together.

Stupid

Of course USA TODAY would make a statement as absurd as that. Maybe we should bury statistics

Fox News. Your apology is not accepted. You’ve pulled this one too many times.

They planned, researched and delivered with a goal and mindset of glorifying human suffering/violence portraying it good for the economy. Sorry, apologize? Really?! Economy over life. Cruel and heartless. For sure positive events had positive economic impact. Tell that story.

That show is a big part of this country’s problem.

Did they fire the idiot(s) that thought this was a good idea in the first place wtf

WHILE WE ARE NOT

Appalling FoxNews

Ban Fox News!

Fox News are utterly despicable.

FoxNews needs stop spreading this irrelevant and misaligned information. Lame organizations like these who are so behind on the curve of change will be become extinct faster. The tsunami of empathy, respect and love will prevail. BlackLivesMatter

They have better ratings then CNN, oh so funny 😂

It's really gonna sting the second time around 🤣

Hmmm did they lie? Was this not true?

If only an apology meant they'd actually change..

Fox News is the worse news organization in the United States and it is not even close.

It’s too late for apologies Fox News ! Apologize for the thousands of lies and conspiracies you push to public consumption to ease the Presidents ego

We have the lowest black, hispanic/latino, and female emoyment in history... Until Black Lives Matter More Than Everyone In The World and they had to riot in order to global usurp power. TakeAKnee

Like Trump there is no bottom to the behavior of Fox News.

Their overt racism is over the top. This is all to their apology?

Whatever
