Fox News host apologizes for '3 Mexican Countries' chyron: 'It never should have happened'

"We want to clarify and correct something that happened earlier in the show," Ed Henry, host of "Fox & Friends," said Sunday. "We had an inaccurate graphic on screen while talking about this very story. We just want to be clear, the funding is being cut off to the three Central American countries. We apologize for the error."
On Sunday, "Fox & Friends" quickly jumped to news of the president's plans to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to three Central American countries over the flow of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has already warned of closing the border.
As Henry talked about the president "going full-court press on Mexico" and co-host Pete Hegseth spoke of "cutting payments, aid payments, to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras," a chyron - the caption superimposed over the video - characterized it slightly differently. It referred to them as "3 Mexican Countries."

    1. Yup, Fox has slipped down the liberal rabbit hole in the last few years. It's indicative of the entire "moderate central" part of the political spectrum shifting left.
