FOX News Viewers Track Down "Terrist" - Comments Page 2

Leave it up to radical FOX News viewers to take action into there own hands. On August 7, FOX News host John Loftus, a former federal prosecutor, went live on national television and read the address of a man named Iyad Hilal. Hilal has alleged ties to the July 7 London bombings. The only problem, Hilal doesn't live at the address. The home belongs to an innocent La Habra, California couple, Randy and Ronnell Vorick and their three children.…

    The issue is that he gave out the home address of an American citizen on national t.v. and claimed this was the residence of an alleged terrorist. Lying was not mentioned in the post. This was apparently done out of apparent pure stupidity.
    The suspected terrorist had not lived there for 3 years.
    Now this family is being bombarded by death threats and is under 24 hr police surveillance.
    Read the articles yourself.
    If you don't want to be seen as a "droolng idiot" you should understand how wrong this situation is.
    And you should not go on a diatribe about lying when the only lies i'm reading are coming from you.
    Example:
    comment 16
    "John Loftus is not a Fox Host. He was a guest."
    But like I said. If you don't believe what you read here go ahead and look it up yourself.

    I never said that about John Loftus. That was someone else.

    Was the report a bad, stupid mistake. Yes. And no one has said otherwise.
    One post above is most extreme in its straw man argument - "I can't believe all of you think this is just totally golly gee A-OK" - talk about hallucinating, no one wrote anything like that.

    That family has every right to sue FOX News over this. And to complain. So let them sue. Right?

    There was no conspiracy here, just a stupid mistake. Do you really think FOX is out to get the Voricks?

    Left, Right, in the middle, I don't care. Your last sentence (P.S.-If any of you are planning on spray-painting any words on my house, please bring along a dictionary) had me in stitches.
