Matt Drudge, the founder of conservative “The Drudge Report,” criticized a number of Fox News’ personalities on Monday.
Matt Drudge, the founder of conservative "The Drudge Report," criticized a number of Fox News' personalities on Monday, reports The Hill. His first rebuke was made in regard to the show "Outnumbered," and its commentary on the possibility of unity in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. "A segment on Fox News this morning where hosts laughed and joked their way through a discussion on political impact of terror was bizarre. Not even 48 hours since blood flowed at synagogue? Check your soul in the makeup chair!" Drudge tweeted. He soon after posted screen images that show a number of Fox News hosts apparently smiling and laughing and a chyron reading: "Questions of mail-bomb scare, synagogue attack could impact voters eight days from now." In that tweet, he wrote, "Hysterical!"
In a statement responding to Drudge, Fox News said in part: "[Outnumbered co-host] Kennedy made an unrelated quip at the end of the segment which was focused on unity—there was absolutely no joking or laughing about the events of this weekend and a screen grab of her smiling is hardly indicative of the entire segment. The lower third should not have been up for the duration of this segment as it was not fully reflective of what the panelists were discussing."
