Fox Interviews (Harasses) Roommate Of Man Questioned In Boston Bombings



A producer for Fox News Channel on Tuesday interviewed one of the roommates of the 20-year-old Saudi Arabia man who's been questioned by authorities in the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings.

The roommate, who was identified as Mohammed Hassan Bada by the Boston Herald earlier in the day, was asked by the producer if he thought his roommate was responsible for the deadly explosions. As he told the Herald, Bada once again expressed doubt that his roommate had a role in the bombings.

After being pressed by the producer, Bada, with a bookbag strapped on his back, grew frustrated. "Let me go to school, dude," Bada said, after placing his palms over his face in exasperation.

The suburban Boston apartment where the men live was searched by state and local law enforcement beginning late Monday night and extending to Tuesday morning. Bada's roommate, still unidentified, has been questioned by authorities while undergoing treatment at a Boston hospital for injuries sustained in Monday's blasts. He has not been charged.

though, if a news representative came up to me from anywhere, I would tell them to get lost. I do NOT need 15 minutes of fame so they can twist the words anyway they see fit

What do you think they would say if he tried to avoid them? You know damn well Fox makes a mountain out of a mole hill. They sure was saying he is hidding something. Like I said this guy can't win no matter what he does.
