"During our coverage of yesterday's dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the air and extend our respect and condolences to the service members' families. We honor the sacrifice of those six American heroes."
"Critics slammed the president for wearing a baseball cap at the ceremony as the caskets were marched past him. But in the footage viewers were shown, Trump was not seen wearing the hate. The solemn ritual returns the remains of troops killed in action. It is considered one of the most somber duties of a commander in chief."
Fox News broadcast incorrect footage during Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday, showing an old dignified transfer ceremony instead of Saturday's event honoring six U.S. service members killed in Iran. The mix-up occurred in the first hour when host Griff Jenkins introduced the wrong video. Critics had condemned President Trump for wearing a baseball cap during the actual Saturday ceremony as caskets were presented. The incorrect footage did not show Trump wearing the hat, potentially obscuring the controversial moment. Fox News issued an on-air correction during the 9 a.m. ET hour, apologizing for the error and expressing condolences to the families. Despite the apology, many observers questioned whether the mistake was intentional, suggesting the network deliberately aired footage that would avoid showing the disputed image.
