            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,
