Fox News apologized Saturday for how it displayed a chart correlating the stock market’s performance with the aftermath of the deaths of George Floyd, Martin Luther King Jr. and Michael Brown.
The graphic that aired Friday to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest “should have never aired on television without full context. We apologize for the insensitivity of the image and take this issue seriously,” the cable channel said in a statement. The chart featured on “Special Report with Bret Baier” illustrated gains made by the S&P 500 index after King’s assassination in 1968; the 2014 police shooting of 18-year-old Brown in Ferguson, Mo.; and the May 25 death of Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody. It also measured the financial yardstick against the 1992 acquittal of Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney King.
It was shown as part of a segment with Fox News and Fox Business reporter Susan Li focusing on the market rally that followed an unexpectedly lower number of jobless claims.Other business publications and TV channels in recent days have compared the market’s performance to current and historic social upheaval, but with significant background and explanation.
Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., tweeted that the graphic makes it clear that Fox News “does not care about black lives,” while Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chair and an MSNBC political analyst, posted, “This is how they mourn the loss of black men at #FoxNews - by how much the stock market goes up.”Later Saturday, on Fox’s “America’s News HQ” telecast, anchor and senior correspondent Eric Shawn said the graphic should not have been used.

goldietaylor Too little. Too late. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Davidlaz The damage is done
An apology?! Who thought this was a good idea in the first place? Imagine the thought and effort it took to actually do this. Every time I think there is no bottom, these people just stay trash. FoxNewsisRacist
SO GOOD NEWS IS NOW BAD NEWS I THOUGHT THEY WERE IN THE BUSINESS TO GIVE ALL THE NEWS Unlike LA TIMES & the rest of MSM all they want their viewers to see RIOTERS LOOTING & BURNING.. OH WAIT, THEY DID NOT REPORT 'THE NEWS'.. HMM?
goldietaylor They're not sorry... Some thought of the correlation Someone suggested it in production Someone complied the graphic Someone wrote the script Someone directed it's use Someone presented it That's too many steps w'too many opportunities to say 'no this is bad' And yet🤨
USA CITIES started to look more like a HURRICANE prepared CITY now I starts mine ...all that WOOD PLANKS ..SAVE EARTH TREES Plant more ...no kidding !
No shame as always
They have a lot more than that to apologize for.
Μπορεί να το κάνει πολύ και δωρεάν. ΓΙΑ ΤΙς ΧΏΡΕς ΤΟΥ ΤΡΊΤΟΥ ΚΟΣΜΟΥ. ΜΗΝ ΞΕΧΆΣΕΤΕ ΣΕ ΚΑΛΟΎς ΑΝΘΡΏΠΟΥς, ΧΡΥΣΟ ΣΣΕΤΟ ΣΣΕΥ ΟΙ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ! ΣΧΕΤΙΚΆ ΧΡΉΜΑΤΑ, ΚΑΙ ΝΑ ΛΎΣΕΙ ΤΟ ΠΡΌΒΛΗΜΑ, ΤΙ ΠΡΈΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΚΆΝΟΥΝ ΟΙ ΊΔΙΟΙ. ΜΠΟΡΕΊ ΝΑ ΣΑς ΒΟΗΘΉΣΕΙ . Ο θεός. 1ok1
highbrow_nobrow 'The graphic that aired Friday to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest 'should have never aired on television without full context.'' Can they explain to us exactly what the 'full context' that would have made it acceptable WAS?
We didn't ' mean it' Wash,Rinse,Repeat
For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. Donald Trump (or was it Hitler?).
Clueless
Not enough
FOX reports Pompeo critical of China propaganda re: Floyd. China Daily critical of FOX propaganda supporting King Liar and racist right-wing rants.
Can we defund Fox Spews while we’re at it?
Fake news
goldietaylor It says a lot about the people that work at FOX
Fabulous
Did you ever do something, y’know, that you knew was a lie, that was wrong, but you did it anyway to cause trouble, and after it had, you kinda, sorta apologized but not really because your purpose had been served? Fox does that a lot.
Idiots
Scumbags!
The Bethesda biker, BikeTyson also apologized. See? All good.
Jeez
They’re never really sorry.
goldietaylor Apology not accepted.
What did they do? This is fucking crazy. I didn't see it yet but if the headline is true than I just don't know who would of even think of comparing the two. What a sick fuck to think of this
I don’t believe they and their viewers care, and that’s why they felt it was perfectly fine to air it. Their ‘apology’ is worthless. Boycott Fox News advertisers.
They do everything they do with great deliberation. They're tone deaf assholes.
Pathetic clowns
GuyAdami they must have read your tweet!
Trumps News you mean.
Wtf?
