The earth moves: Fox News apologizes to Canada.

CNN:

Amid pressure from the Canadian prime minister, Fox News has apologized for a tweet that inaccurately identified the suspect in Sunday night's Quebec mosque terror attack as a man of Moroccan origin.

"FoxNews.com initially corrected the misreported information with a tweet and an update to the story on Monday. The earlier tweets have now been deleted," Refet Kaplan, the managing director at FoxNews.com, said in a statement. "We regret the error."

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office called on Fox News to "either retract or update" the "false and misleading" tweet, noting that the suspect had been identified as a French Canadian, not someone of Moroccan origin.

Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, faces six counts of first-degree murder and five attempted murder charges in Sunday's shooting, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Quebec.

2. Did they apologize for spreading it all over their network this weekend? My coworker and I were

discussing the Muslim Ban and he brought this up as an example from Fox News. I had to break it to him that they got it VERY WRONG. So now this is the second time in as many months were Fox News has jumped the gun about Clinton's "reopened investigation" and had to eat it.

6. Typical GOPology

"We're sorry if anyone was offended."

Yeah - if you weren't offended, screw you; we don't care!

7. Was it Really an error?

Depends on who has been making the error. Surely FOX news wouldn't, get it?

Maybe he can intervene more often.

5. Yes

I don't watch faux. That is impressive that Trudeau's office called. I've shut down the entire faux channel for my viewing. Thank you for the information.

8. Our neighbors to the north

seem to be following our news very closely. I don't blame them, but it seems incredible that Trudeau would go out of his way to actually place a call to Fox.
