Fox News apologized for airing the wrong clip of President Donald Trump when the president honored the six US service members killed in Iran. Griff Jenkins, the same host, who was on the show when the wrong clip was aired issued the apology and said: “We want to acknowledge a mistake made earlier on our program. During our coverage of yesterday’s dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the air and extend our respect and condolences to the service members’ families. We honor the sacrifice of those six American heroes."
But critics said it was not an inadvertent mistake but they intentionally did not want to show Trump with his campaign hat on. "This is a bs “apology” from Fox. They claim it was “inadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump," Ron Fillipkowski posted.
