Fox News Audience Laughs at Lebanese Deaths (with video)

News Hounds
August 8, 2006

The audience for Fox News' "Dayside" sank to a new low on Tuesday (August 8, 2006) during discussion of the fighting along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Egged on by substitute host Steve Doocy (or Doocey as the chyron spelled it at one point), the audience literally laughed at the suffering of Lebanese civilians caught between Hezbollah and Israeli bombs.

Doocy was interviewing Tania Mehanna, a senior war correspondent for Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, when he chided Lebanese civilians for not standing up to Hezbollah fighters whom he said are positioning rockets in front of their homes. 'I think I'd be angry as Hezbollah," Doocy said.

Listen to Mehanna's answer and to the audience response.

Later, a man in the audience claimed that Arabs have made up the idea that Israel is bombing Lebanon and that the buildings are not being bombed but are falling down because of "faulty construction".

Chilling.
