Fox News has apologized for airing an incorrect clip of President Donald Trump honoring the six American soldiers killed in Iran. Griff Jenkins, the host himself, who was on the show when the wrong clip aired, issued an apology and said: “We want to acknowledge a mistake that occurred earlier on our show.
While covering yesterday’s Karima transfer, we inadvertently broadcast a video from an older Karima transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We are deeply sorry on the air and offer our respect and condolences to the families of the service members. “We honor the sacrifices of these six American heroes.”But critics said that this was not an unintentional mistake, but that they deliberately did not show Trump wearing his election hat.
“This is an ‘apology’ from Fox. They claim it was ‘inadvertent’ – a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they still don’t show the correct footage of Trump,” Ron Filipkowski wrote.
“If any other network did this, it would be a huge scandal, Fox would lead the chorus of criticism and false outrage, and people would lose their jobs.
But not at Fox. It’s not a news network. “It is a state propaganda channel,” Mehdi Hassan wrote. “President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and… [Second] Ms. Osha Vance attends a generous relocation ceremony to honor the eventual return of the six American service members killed in Kuwait. The official ritual returns the remains of soldiers killed in action. “It is considered one of the most depressing duties of a commander in chief.” Trump wore a hat to the ceremony honoring Major Jeffrey O’Brien, Chief Petty Officer 3 Robert Marzan, Captain Cody Khork, and Staff Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens and Sgt. Declan Cody. But Fox aired old footage in which Trump was seen without the hat.
