Fox News apologises for graphic on stock market gains after racial attacks

Fox News apologised 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.

We apologise for the insensitivity of the image and take this issue seriously, the cable channel said in a statement. The apology followed a sharp backlash to the Special Report with Bret Baier segment.
