Fox Contributor Fired After Endangering Innocent Family
Reported by Deborah - August 27, 2005
John Loftus, Fox News Contributor, carelessly gave the address of an unsuspecting family because he thought a terrorist lived at their address. He was wrong and the family has been tortured and terrorized since his irresponsible statement. Chrish reported this story and at that time the family was waiting for an apology from Fox News. This morning 8/27/05, CNN reported that Fox had fired Loftus and issued a written apology to the family who have gone through hell.
The Voricks are now recieving police protection because the harrassment has been so severe. Mrs. Vorick claimed that she is afraid to leave her teenage child with the younger kids while she works. Someone actually spray painted " terrorist" on the wall next to their front door while they were home. A steady stream of people drive by screaming at them. Their lives have been turned upside down because John Loftus and Fox behaved so recklessly.
comment: Both Fox and Loftus issued an apology to the Voricks and Loftus has been fired. Big deal! That doesn't even begin to right this wrong. Fox News must be held accountable. This is not acceptable behavior and there must be some legal ramifications for Fox and Loftus.
