Fox News edits video of report on looters

Fox News is under fire for editing a video from a local Fox affiliate’s report on looters in Los Angeles. Fox 11 shared footage of police pulling their guns and handcuffing a group of people who called the cops themselves to stop others from looting a business. Three good Samaritans were detained while a local reporter, Christina Gonzalez, kept yelling to police that they had the wrong people. The video went viral, viewed more than 7 million times since Monday night. However, Rolling Stone points out that Fox News appeared to selectively edit out the police’s mistakes and only focus on the good samaritan portion of the story Tuesday, inaccurately suggesting police were “nothing but helpful” in the situation.

Lea Michele apologizes

Former “Glee” star Lea Michele is apologizing after her co-star, Samantha Ware, accused Michele of making her “first television gig a living hell.” Michele, 33, said she didn’t remember threatening to defecate in Ware’s wig, but said the responses to her original tweet in support of Black Lives Matter “made me also focus specifically on how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them… I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin. That’s not really the point, what matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people,” she wrote. “Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behavior and for any pain which I have caused.”
