Fox News devoted a fair amount of time this afternoon to broadcasting live footage of a car chase in the Arizona desert. At one point, Fox anchor Shepard Smith expressed dismay with a director’s decision to cut away in mid-chase from the Dodge car speeding down a highway. “If it were up to me, we’d stay with this,” he told his viewers.
After some less-exciting news coverage and a commercial break, Fox returned to covering the car chase, as the vehicle turned onto a dirt road. It then stopped, and the motorist got out of the car. He began running and looked desperate and disoriented.
He stopped near some brush. There, he pulled to his head what appeared to be a gun. Smith began yelling to his director: “Get off it, get off it.”
