Fox News misidentifies innocent family as terrorists


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.
Link to LA Times story, Link to followup on newshounds.us with news that Loftus has been sacked. (Thanks, yosephus)
