The chart appeared Friday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" and showed how markets had risen after the 1968 killing of the civil rights leader, the acquittal of police involved in the 1991 beating of Rodney King, and the deaths of teenager Michael Brown in 2014 and Mr Floyd.
The chart stirred outrage at a time when thousands of people nationwide have taken part in mass protests against racism and police brutality following the death of Floyd at the hands of a white officer.
The power of social media.
Fox news apologies, FO, they continue to stir the public as usual and create animosity. Because stupid people don't understand this and continue to read, listen and be led by the nose by Rupert, things will never change. Without media, old or new the world would by far better.
Another Great Reason to BOYCOTT MURDOCHS. FOX
Fox apologising is just as good as a Neymar Dive n roll !! 😀
I suspect Fox planned to put up the graphic and apologise. They made their racist point then washed their their hands.
Not sure why Fox News apologized. It is very useful for its viewers to have confirmed that both Murdoch and Wall Street see stock market movements as so much more important than black deaths in custody and systemic racism. BlackLivesMatter
Apology from FoxNews is interesting. They know Trump is on his last leg
F***ed up!!!!!!!!
Well that's Fox News market, right-wing Nazi loving KKK sympathisers, white supremisists members. Soon Chris Kenny, Rowen Dean and others will be wearing their uniforms on air.
All this ain’t going to end well is it?
The US is going down. I think someone from above maybe about to lose their cool.
Another half grown animals with full of hate and racism
Unfortunately the US government is big on manipulating stock markets so the confidence of the viewers/readers are not dented by social unrest. Couple this with complicit right-wing bankers happily getting bullish to spite the 'hippies' or 'plebs' protesting and you get the rally.
That makes it all better. A belated apology for a chart similar to that found in the papers of the Apartheid govt of Sth Africa in the 1980’s.
Amazing...that they actually apologise..
Fox not grasping correlation (or, more likely, coincidence) vs causation while pandering to racists; shocking.
just an FYI. 'The stock market is a graph of rich people’s feelings'
Why apoligise it is an interesting fact.

No shit! Most people that oppose the BlackLivesMatter protests around Australia would be avoiding black people anyway, so why are they so concerned about the spread of coronavirus? And it's not like those same people weren't out protesting 5G being the cause of coronavirus last week. They do not care one iota, media has them at fever pitch and they’re itching for some excitement in their less than successful lives.

‘Divided States of America’ locked in combat with home-grown 'Antifa threat' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Gary Hardgrave says it was “sickening to watch” the violence of the protests in the once united and now “Divided States of America”. \n\nHe said labelling Antifa a terrorist organisation would be “a step in the right direction”. \n\n“There are people now who are trying to create hatred whereas years ago in the 1960s it was all about love”. \n\n“America has gone the full course now,' he said. \n\nFormer speaker of the house Bronwyn Bishop said the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States started with “genuine people who had a genuine concern” triggered by the fatal arrest of the African-American man George Floyd.\n\nShe said it was groups like Antifa who have been “waiting for a riot to spark” so they could move in and “hype” the situation up until it erupts in “looting and violence”. \n\nImage: AP Not sickened by decades of police brutality and cover ups though? For all you watching from the great country of Australia - don't believe the Fake News - America is united and as strong as ever - see our jobs number report this morning. The violence/riots are caused by a small organized group amplified by dishonest media
