Fox removes video with cars plowing through demonstrators
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Fox
News said it has removed
a video from its website
that depicted cars plow-
ing through demonstrators,
saying it was “inappropri-
ate.”
The development was part
of another fast-moving day
Tuesday for media keeping
up with the fallout from a
violent racial protest over
the weekend in Charlottes-
ville, Virginia, including a
contentious late-afternoon
news conference by Presi-
dent Donald Trump and a
deleted presidential tweet.
The 90-second video had
been picked up in Janu-
ary from The Daily Caller,
a website co-founded
by Fox personality Tucker
Carlson. The Daily Caller’s
video editor, Mike Raust,
wrote when it was posted:
