It would appear that Fox News apologized to Greta Thunberg for comments made by Michael Knowles.
Granted, his comments were taken from her own mother’s book but we digress.
Here is their statement:
Fox News statement: “The comment made by Michael Knowles who was a guest on The Story tonight was disgraceful – we apologize to Greta Thunberg and to our viewers.”https://t.co/xntmck7flY https://t.co/UEx056C2el

And then Andrew Kaczynski brought up Laura Ingraham:
Laura Ingraham compared her to Children of the Corn on her show tonight.https://t.co/H8uwV25bxe

Probably NOT the smartest thing Laura could have said but in the grand scheme of things … eh.
But CNN’s head PR guy, Matt Dornic, decided he’d had just about enough and tweeted something well, very CNN-like.
This is disgusting. And I’m so tired of hearing: “but Shep, but Chris, but Bret.” If you work for Fox News, you’re complicit. And if you’re one of the aforementioned journalists, your names and faces are being used to mask bigotry, hate and prejudice. So shame on you too. https://t.co/9YLw3CoMZv

Do you think Matt cried a little while he wrote this?
Asking for a friend.
Normal tweet from CNN’s PR guy. https://t.co/dNfhJusWse

Steeze is only sort of kidding.
Matt, is this an official network statement? Hard to tell these days. https://t.co/dNfhJusWse

Where does "platforming actual nazis" fall on the scale of complicity? pic.twitter.com/TK90B91CgS

Oopsie.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you
— Hey, guys (@jtLOL) September 24, 2019
Us too.
Poor Matt.
If you work for @CNN, you’re #FakeNews

This is quite something, Matt.

And it ain’t good.
Well @cnn should not have gave Trump free airtime during the primary. They propped him up.

Ingraham SUUUUUUUUCK. But Fox are your direct competitors. Pardon me for questioning your motives here.

We’re not even sure CNN is competing with Fox News these days.

“Complicit”? You are all pearl clutching drama queens. What has been done to Greta is a whole new low for the left. An autistic girl has been led to the slaughter, and made to believe she and everyone else will die if all left wing talking points are not put into action.
