Fox News apologizes for guest who called environmental activist Greta Thunberg mentally ill, says he would never appear on the network again.

Fox News has apologized for a guest who called environmental activist Greta Thunberg mentally ill, and said he would never appear on the network again.

Michael Knowles of"The Daily Wire" made the comment Monday during a segment on a Fox evening newscast, also saying Thunberg was being exploited by her parents and the left wing. Fox had no comment Tuesday about its own prime-time host, Laura Ingraham, who likened Thunberg to a murderous child cult leader from a Stephen King short story.

Yet fox have Trumpy Dumpty on and he is mentally ill .

How about delusional? Is that better?

The child's parents are both actors and they schooled her well. Just perfect to be used.

But she really is mentally ill, so...

Duh 🙄 OMG!

WordswithSteph And so they should

Isn’t she tho?

Why do people have to keep apologizing for state facts when it is right out there for people to see this pc culture has become a sickness

Except that it’s true

No she has been brainwashed into believing she's gonna die in 10 years of starvation, or the end of the world. That's a lot to put on a child. No wonder they're picking up guns and shooting people they think they're going to die and have nothing to live for.

She isn’t?

That was cruel and unjust really does fox news anchors really know this child like that or are they just bias bc they are pro Trump ( blind to climate change) ?

That guest should be fired from tall jobs!

She’s been described as asperger or autistic. That is mental abnormality. Appears malnourished, too.

NBC News Michael Knowles, HOW DARE YOU!

Typical reaction of FOX and friends!

The DSM lists her issues as mental disorders... how is he really that far off the mark to be punished? 🤔

Fox set her up

And yet CNN let people go on their network and say they wanted to punch the Covington kids. I think that is way worse than stating a fact that a child with autism is mentally I'll cuz news flash: it is a mental illness.

Did he mean to say, not yet?

janefourmillion They got a lot of explaining to do on a whole bunch of stuff. Hannity, Ingram, and what's his face. ImpeachTrump

Not enough...what about the other one 🤷🏾‍♀️

I thought he was a new host. Certainly not the worst I've seen on fox news.

I’m afraid FOX has lost it’s balls...

Let it be the first of many apologies from Fox News.

But they are ok with this

Well she is kinda putting her nose in adult business. JS 🤷🏻‍♀️

SpiroAgnewGhost Good for Fox. Of course if they did this every time a 'conservative' guest crossed the line of decency they would not have any 'conservative' guests.

Blah blah blah

BarryHopeBrea Did they apologize for IngrahamAngle ? BoycottFoxNews

Why he doesn’t abbr the right to voice his opinion . She of course appears ill. Can’t we see the obvious

Fox news sucks but good for them.

Fake..... but roll with it.... we watched her rant. Poor girl being abused by leftist adults. Gross.

a child being used for an agenda !

She is.

What about IngrahamAngle

So she’s not mentally ill? Her bio and behavior suggest she is.

Shame on Fox News and shame on their viewers .

Will Laura Ingraham be going on an unexpected vacation soon?

Foxnews filth. Typical that they get it out there, then “disavow” it.

Why she had a problem. Abuse

Here is what “mentally ill” actually looks like

What will his doctor say?

shes an actress. Also, since when do adults take marching orders from a 16 year old foreigner in AMERICA?

SHE IS PER HER OWN MOTHER WHO IS EXPLOITING HER!

This is what it looks like when you're too chicken to invite actual climate scientists on your propaganda network. You insult kids.

Now do Laura Ingraham.

Are they going to make Laura Ingraham apologize for her ugly statement also

Who is she

‘Unbelievable And Shameful’: Fox News Slammed For Attacks On Greta ThunbergFox News apologizes for “disgraceful” comment. Most outside political class don't care. Fox always does this - they bring on a guest and have the guest say the outrageous thing, then they condemn the remark and say they won't have the guest on again, but the whole point was to show the audience what a REAL, non-PC, conservative thinks about this. But having a young girl with Asbergers act as tip of the spear for virtue signaling is morally... fine.
