Fox News has apologized for a 'disgraceful' comment by a guest about Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.
Fox News has apologized for a guest’s “disgraceful” description of environmental activist Greta Thunberg as mentally ill but was silent Tuesday on Laura Ingraham likening her to a murderous cult of children from a Stephen King story.
The network responded swiftly to a news segment Monday where Michael Knowles of “The Daily Wire” said the 16-year-old environmentalist was a “mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international left.” Knowles was immediately called out by a fellow guest, podcast host Chris Hahn, who said, “You’re a grown man and you’ve attacked a child. Shame on you.”
Hahn called on Knowles to immediately apologize. He didn’t and won’t get a chance again on Fox. The network later apologized to Thunberg and viewers for the comment and said it had no plans to book Knowles, who has no ties to the network, again.A couple hours later Ingraham, one of the network’s prime-time stars, said she found some of Thunberg’s remarks before the United Nations, in which she scolded officials for not acting on climate change, to be chilling.
In an interview with the Associated Press last week, Thunberg said she takes personal criticism as proof that activists are making a difference.“You just have to ignore them because they are just so desperately trying to remove the focus from the climate crisis to make it become something about me as an individual,” she said. “When they do that, I mean, they don’t have any arguments left.”
