Bret Baier apologizes on-air for Fox News graphic linking the deaths of black men to stock market performance

Mediaite

The "horrific graphic" aired Friday during Fox News’ Special Report on Friday night, prompting Fox News to apologize Saturday morning. We are not immune from mistakes, and when we make them we address them immediately,” Baier said on his show Monday. “We ran a graphic Friday night that we should not have had on this stop. Full stop. It was used to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest and should have never aired. The show’s producers unfortunately didn’t appreciate the significance of how it might be interpreted, and we apologize for the insensitivity of that image. It was a major screw-up on our part. I’m the executive editor, the show has my name on it, the buck stops with me. I promise this has been addressed and this will not happen again.”
