Brits are angry at Fox News for what they consider to be callous and self-serving remarks by its on-air (Brit Hume and Brian Kilmeade particular) personalities concerning the London bombings. John Gibson, a Fox News personality, said this: "If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares? This is why I thought the Brits should let the French have the Olympics - let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while." Of course, he said this BEFORE the bombings took place, but regardless, tragic incidents such as this requires one to be a bit more tactful. It wouldn't hurt Fox News to apologize, and not because they're right or wrong, but because people are hurting and it's the classy thing to do.
