AFTER CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER PRESSURED FOX NEWS TO RIGHT
A WRONG, THE NEWS ORGANIZATION FINALLY DECIDED TO DELETE A
TWEET THAT FALSELY CLAIMED THAT THE SUSPECT IN THE QU…BEC
SHOOTINGS WAS A MUSLIM INDIVIDUAL FROM MOROCCO.
THE QU…BEC SHOOTING WAS A TRAGEDY THAT RECENTLY HAPPENED.
6 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES AFTER AN INDIVIDUAL OPENED FIRE
AND HE ALSO INJURED SEVERAL OTHERS.
19 PEOPLE WERE WOUNDED.
AS OF TUESDAY, TWO PEOPLE WERE IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
SHORTLY AFTER THE ATTACK POLICE ACTUALLY DID ARREST TWO MEN.
BEFORE THET RELEASED NAMES, THE LOCAL MEDIA CITED
POLICE SOURCES TO IDENTIFY THEM AS A FRENCH-CANADIAN AND A
MOROCCAN BORN QU…BECOR.
BY MIDDAY ON MONDAY, POLICE CLARIFIED THE ONLY ONE WAS
A SUSPECT, AND THEY HAD RELEASED HIM EARLIER, WHO IS NOW BEING
TREATED AS A WITNESS WITHOUT CHARGE.
SO THE PERSON THEY LET GO WAS ACTUALLY THE MOROCCAN
INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS A WITNESS.
IN FACT, HE ACTUALLY WENT TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME TO HELP
PEOPLE AND THEN HE SAW A COP WHO WAS CARRYING A FIREARM AND
DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS A COP OR THE ACTUAL SHOOTER SO HE
STARTED RUNNING AWAY.
HE WAS AFRAID.
LATER ON, AFTER THEY DETAINED HIM AND
ASKED A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS THEY WERE LIKE OH, YOU'RE
ACTUALLY TOTALLY INNOCENT.
THE PERSON WHO DID COMMIT THE CRIME WAS NOT MUSLIM.
HIS NAME IS ALEXANDRE BISSONNETTE.
HE IS A FRENCH-CANADIAN.
FOX NEWS LATER
TWEETED ON MONDAY AFTERNOON SHORTLY AFTER THE POLICE
CLARIFICATION SUGGESTING THERE WAS JUST ONE SUSPECT IN THE
ATTACK WHO WAS OF MOROCCAN ORIGIN.
AGAIN, THAT IS MISINFORMATION.
THEY SHOULD RIGHT THE WRONG.
BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT UNTIL THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE
CONTACTED THEM AND SAID HEY, YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS TWEET DOWN AND
YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE THE SHOOTER WAS NOT MUSLIM,
IT WAS NOT THE MOROCCAN GUY, IT WAS A FRENCH-CANADIAN GUY.
RIGHT AFTER A SHOOTING THERE'S MAYHEM, THERE IS THE FOG OF
WAR AND WE SAY THIS ALL OF THE TIME ON THE AIR ESPECIALLY
WHEN WE ARE CARRYING SOMETHING LIVE.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT ISN'T
EXACTLY RIGHT.
WAIT 24 HOURS OR 48 HOURS FOR MUCH BETTER INFORMATION.
THE ORIGINAL WRONG TWEET, I AM NOT EVEN GETTING ON THEM FOR IT.
THAT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS, BUT MAYBE PARTLY BECAUSE OF FOX
NEWS.
I HAD READ THAT EARLIER IN THE DAY.
IF YOU RUN WITH THE HEADLINE, YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL
BUT MISTAKES HAPPEN AS YOU ARE TRYING TO RUSH AND REPORT.
THE NOT RETRACTING IT IS THE PART THAT IS SO FOX NEWS.
OH, WE GOT IT WRONG AND WE SAID IT WAS A MUSLIM, WELL, WE
ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT.
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE SECOND PART.
I DEFINITELY
DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THE FIRST PART.
HERE'S THE THING: I GET THAT AS A NEWS ORGANIZATION YOU
WANT TO BE FIRST.
I'M GOING TO BE THE FIRST TO BREAK IT, TO ID THE
SUSPECT.
THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING THE
FIRST TO ID THE SUSPECT?
BEING ACCURATE ABOUT THE SUSPECT THAT YOU ARE IDENTIFYING
BECAUSE YOU COULD REALLY PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE IN DANGER IF
YOU ARE ACCUSING A COMPLETELY INNOCENT PERSON OF OPENING
FIRE AND KILLING SIX INDIVIDUALS.
WHAT IF PEOPLE KNEW AT THAT POINT THE IDENTIFY OF THE MOROCCAN
GUY AND THEY WANTED TO CARRY OUT AN
ACT OF VIOLENCE TO GET REVENGE?
WHAT IF SOMEONE NEVER SAW THE RETRACTION AND DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE TRUTH WAS ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF THE SHOOTER?
IT PUTS PEOPLE'S LIFE IN JEOPARDY.
BY THE WAY I DON'T AGREE WITH ANY TYPE OF VIGILANTE JUSTICE.
AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO GO ON GET
JUSTICE ON YOUR OWN.
YOU SHOULD LET THE JUSTICE SYSTEM DEAL WITH THAT BUT
WITH THAT BEING SAID, AS A NEWS ORGANIZATION, YOU SHOULD LOOK
AT SITUATIONS LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
TO PARTLY BACK YOU UP ANA, MOST PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THAT NEWS
EVENT AS IT IS HAPPENING, THEY DON'T FOLLOW UP FOR UPDATES
A DAY OR A DAY AND A HALF LATER.
WHAT YOU SAY IN THE BEGINNING IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO HEAR.
WE LIVE IN A VERY IMPERFECT INFORMATION WORLD ON THE DAY OF.
THERE'S A LOT OF SPECULATIVE WHO IT MAY BE BEFORE WE FIND OUT WHO
IT IS, AND SPECULATION TO SOME DEGREE IS NORMAL.
TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, YOU SHOULD SAY THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE PERFECT INFORMATION.
A TWEET IS ONLY 140
CHARACTERS BUT ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE, WHAT DOES IT DO?
IT WENT ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
I SAW IT LIVE AS IT WAS HAPPENING.
WE KNEW IT.
YOU THINK IT IS RIGHT WINGERS AGAINST MUSLIMS?
IT WAS A MUSLIM ANYWAY.
TURNS OUT HE WAS A WITNESS IN TRYING TO HELP THE VICTIMS.
BY THE WAY, TO THIS DAY, IF YOU GO AND ASK A RIGHT-WINGER
SINCE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT REALITY, I GUARANTEE YOU AT
LEAST HALF OF THEM WILL SAY NO, THE SHOOTER WAS A MUSLIM.
I GUARANTEE YOU.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 12.
JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH OF A MUSLIM THE SHOOTER WAS.
THERE HE IS.
LOOKS SUPER MUSLIM TO ME.
THERE ARE WHITE MUSLIMS.
THERE ARENíT MANY.
THEIR LAST NAMES ARENíT BISSONNETTE.
SOMETIMES.
IN HIS CASE, NO.
HE IS PRO-DONALD TRUMP AND SYMPATHETIC TO THE RIGHTÖ
NOT TO SAY ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO SHOOT PEOPLE IN A
MOSQUE BUT IS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
SOMEONE'S POLITICAL AFFILIATION IS.
THEY ARE EXTREMIST,
THEY ARE EXTREMIST AND IN THIS CASE, THIS GUY WAS AN EXTREMIST.
THAT LEADS ME TO MY FINAL POINT ABOUT FOX.
YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF A NEWS ORGANIZATION.
IF SOMEONE
SAYS LOOK, YOU GOT THIS WRONG.
IT'S VERY PUBLIC.
FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE WAY WE MAKE MISTAKES AND OUR
CRITICS LOVE IT.
YOU MISSPOKE ABOUT SOMETHING.
THIS MADE MY YEAR.
WEíLL COME OUT AND SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUR
CRITICS AND WHATEVER, BUT HERE'S THE REALITY AND SO WE GOT
THAT ONE A LITTLE WRONG OR MISSPOKE THAT WHATEVER IT
MIGHT BE THAT GOD BLESS.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THE AUDIENCE BEING OUR EDITOR
SOME TIME TO TIME.
WE DO A TWO-HOUR SHOW EVERY DAY.
WITHOUT A PROMPTER.
THAT IS HELPFUL BECAUSE WE ONCE GAVE THE TRUTH.
THAT IS OUR WHOLE POINT HERE TO GET YOU THE TRUTH.
IN THEIR CASE IT IS A GIANT NEWS ORGANIZATION.
THEY KNOW THEY GOT A WRONG.
THERE'S A TUB OF PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS OUT THERE NOT
ASKING BILL O'REILLY TO COME OUT AND APOLOGIZE.
THEY'RE JUST SAYING TAKE DOWN THE TWEET.
IT TOOK FOREVER TO TAKE THE TWEET DOWN AND NOW TO GIVE
YOU A SENSE OF WHETHER THEY ARE REALLY FAIR AND BALANCED AS
IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ANYMORE, DID THEY DO
SEGMENT AFTER SEGMENT OF IT WAS A PRO-DONALD TRUMP GUIDE.
WHY WON'T THEY NAME THE FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST?
BECAUSE IF YOU JUST NAME IT, IT WILL GO AWAY.
JUST CALLED THEM FAR RIGHT WING EXTREMIST.
I DON'T THINK FOX NEWS DID THAT SEGMENT.
I'M NOT SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THE WORDS FAIR AND BALANCED AS
WELL AS THEY SHOULD TALK
ANYWAY, THEY DID EVENTUALLY BECAUSE OF PRESSURE FROM THE
PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE TAKE THE TWEET DOWN AN ISSUE AN APOLOGY.
OKAY, WELL, I MEAN AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER ASKED YOU
SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THEY ARE WILLING TO WITHDRAW ONE TWEET.
OKAY.
ARE THEY NOT MERCIFUL?
