Stuart Varney Finally Acknowledges Occupy Wall Street Had Nothing To Do With Embarrassing Craigslist Ad
| Stuart Varney offers no apology for falsely linking OWS to an embarrassing Craigslist ad. |
Two days, two Voice articles, and four emails later, FOX Business Network host Stuart Varney has finally acknowledged that a Craigslist ad recruiting paid demonstrators for a "protest" in Zuccotti Park had nothing to do with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
However, he offers no apology for the embarrassment his linking the ad to OWS has caused the movement. Rather, he just hassles the guy who actually posted the ad for tricking him into thinking the occupiers were behind the ad.
If you're not familiar with Varney's show falsely linking the ad to Occupy Wall Street, click here (basically what happened is someone on Varney's staff stumbled upon a Craigslist ad recruiting paid protesters to go to Zuccotti Park earlier this week to "hang out" during a protest. No where in the ad does it mention anything about Occupy Wall Street, but because OWS rhetoric (the whole "99 percent" thing, Zuccotti Park, etc.) was used in the ad, Varney's show determined it was the work of the occupiers. Oops -- as we proved Wednesday, OWS had nothing to do with the ad).
