FOX News contributor screws family over Dumbass
There's an article over at boingboing.net about a FOX News contributor giving out a family's address on-air and claiming they were terrorists responsible for the July 7th London attacks:
"Fox News nutbag contributor and former US prosecutor John Loftus read the address of a 'terrorist' residence in California on-air. Oh, wait -- whoops -- no terrorist home, just an innocent family of five who are now the target of angry threats. Since the report aired on Fox News on Aug. 7, people have shouted profanities at Randy and Ronnell Vorick and spray-painted 'terrorist' (spelling it 'terrist') on their property.

John Loftus, a former federal prosecutor who appears on Fox News' 'Inside Scoop with John Loftus,' gave out the address during the broadcast. He said the home belonged to Iyad Hilal, whose group, Loftus said, has ties to those responsible for the July 7 bombings in London. But Hilal moved out of the house about three years ago.

The couple sought a public apology and correction.

'John Loftus has been reprimanded for his careless error, and we sincerely apologize to the family,' Fox spokeswoman Irena Brigantes said.

Loftus told the Los Angeles Times last week that 'mistakes happen. ... That was the best information we had at the time.'"
