Fox News Apologizes For Airing Graphic Showing How Stock Market Rose Following George Floyd And MLK's Deaths

The nation is in mourning following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers.

But Fox News aired a graphic which seems to suggest the death of black men results in a rebounding stock market.


On Friday's edition of Special Report with Bret Baier, reporter Susan Li introduced the graphic by saying:

"[The stock market has reached] new highs despite the nationwide protests this week."
"Historically, there has been a disconnect between what investors focus on and what happens across the rest of the country."

An image of the graphic was shared on Twitter where it horrified many.

 


 

Many online, including MLK's son Martin Luther King III, condemned the graphic in no uncertain terms.

 

Fox News apologized for airing the graphic in a statement, saying:

"The infographic used on FOX News Channel's Special Report 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."

Baier reposted the apology on his Twitter account.

 

Twitter couldn't believe that the graphic had made it through Baier's team without anyone noticing how offensive it was.


 


 

No television network should be comparing the police beatings, deaths and assassinations of Black men to rises in the stock market.

 


 


 

If you value human life as more valuable than money, the stock market doesn't matter as people are dying.

 


 


 

Insinuating any sort of connection between police brutality and unjust murders and stock market rises isn't going to help Fox's reputation.

 


 

It shouldn't need saying that there's no "bright side" to George Floyd's death, except possibly that it may stop similar murders from happening in the future.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
