Fox News sparked criticism this week for publishing an article appearing to
suggest that President Obama's speech Wednesday at George Washington
University in Washington, D.C. was linked to a student's suicide.
But Burgess Everett reports for Politico's On Media that Fox has now removed
the article, "GWU Suicide Tragically Coincides with Obama Speech," after
being contacted by GWU.
"We were contacted by the university and decided it would be best to take
down the story, although nothing was factually inaccurate," a Fox
spokesperson said in a statement to Politico.
University spokeswoman Candace Smith told Politico the institution reached
out to "express our concern that the story drew conclusions that were not
accurate." She added that the decision to remove the story "was a wise one."
Following reports a male GWU student was found dead in his room Wednesday
afternoon, an article by Kelly Chernenkoff appeared on the "America's
Election HQ" Politics section of FoxNews.com that included the following:
George Washington University students in Washington, D.C. learned of a
tragic coincidence of timing on their campus Wednesday. As President Obama
delivered a speech on deficit reduction in the Jack Morton Auditorium,
university officials were learning one of their students had committed
suicide in his dorm room across campus...
...GWU officials tell Fox that police were notified about the incident
around 2pm, which happens to be at the same time that President Obama was
speaking. A source tells Fox that the incident may have occurred earlier,
noting that police went knocking on the student's door at 1:30pm. As of this
writing, Fox has not been able to obtain reaction from the White House.
The article sparked outrage from the left and elsewhere Wednesday for
appearing to make a connection between the tragic event and Obama's fiscal
speech on campus. The Atlantic Wire's John Hudson notes that protests
appeared on Reddit, Gawker, The Daily Kos and the Huffington Post. Mediaite
also ran a critical breakdown of the story.
A Facebook group called "HOLD CHERNENKOFF AND FOX NEWS ACCOUNTABLE" was also
started by students to protest the article.
"THE ARTICLE IS DOWN. NOW IT IS TIME FOR AN APOLOGY" the website stated
Friday morning.

美国记者顶多一个标题党，报道有人自杀，时间地点都没错。就是美国左派听到了不爽
，觉得污蔑了
0八，比起中宣部打压国内舆论差远了。
