Fox News is forced to apologize after airing a chart linking the deaths of George Floyd, Martin Luther King Jr. and Michael Brown to the stock market

The chart showed that the death of George Floyd was GOOD for the stockmarket!  No wonder that reality was unpopular!



Fox News apologized Saturday for how it displayed a chart correlating the stock market's performance with the aftermath of the deaths of George Floyd, Martin Luther King Jr. and Michael Brown.

The graphic that aired Friday to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest 'should have never aired on television without full context' the channel said.

'We apologize for the insensitivity of the image and take this issue seriously,' they added in a statement.

The chart stirred outrage at a time when thousands of people nationwide have taken part in mass protests against racism and police brutality following the death of Floyd at the hands of a white officer.

The chart included on 'Special Report with Bret Baier' illustrated gains made by the S&P 500 index after King´s assassination in 1968; the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014, and the May 25 death of Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody.

It also measured the financial yardstick against the 1991 acquittal of Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney King.
