Fox’s Gibson on “golden opportunity” missed:
The day before the July 7 terrorist attacks on London buses and subways, Fox News host John Gibson stated that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) “missed a golden opportunity” because, if France had been selected to host the 2012 Olympics, terrorists would “blow up Paris, and who cares?” Following the London attacks, Gibson reiterated that the IOC ought to have selected Paris instead of London, because the British should “let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while.”
Brit Hume’s first thought on hearing of the terrorist attacks in London:
During Fox News’ coverage of the July 7 London bombings, Washington managing editor Brit Hume told host Shepard Smith that his “first thought,” when he “heard there had been this attack” and saw the low futures market, was “Hmmm, time to buy.”
Brian Kilmeade and Stuart Varney saw a bright side to the terrorist attacks coming during the G8 summit:
It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.
