ONE LITTLE MISTAKE

Speaking of embarrassing screw ups, Fox News (who
else?) now admits it wrongly labeled some innocent
Americans and terrorists.

On August 7, John Loftus, a former U.S. prosecutor,
(all around nut?) said that a man living in the U.S.
named Iyad K. Hilal, was the leader of a terrorist
group with ties to those responsible for the July 7
bombings in London.

He then gave out the man’s home address, on
television.

Fox News also put satellite photos of the house and
DIRECTIONS TO THE HOUSE online.

Trouble is, the guy had moved out three years ago.

Randy and Ronnell Vorick live there now. Oops.

Of course, they’ve been harassed, yelled at, and
threatened every day since then.

Last weekend, someone spray-painted "Terrist" on their
home.

Loftus, the Fox News guy, said he gave out the address
to help local police.

As one blogger put it: “Tip for former prosecutor
Loftus: if you want to help the police, call the
police.”

And as another blogger wrote:

"Terrist." That pretty much sums
up what you need to know about the
Fox News audience, doesn't it?
