Fox News Accidentally Labels Elie Wiesel 'Holocaust Winner' (VIDEO)

Little flubs happen all the time on live news programs, but this one is a doozy: someone at Fox News accidentally dubbed author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel a "Holocaust winner" in a chyron last week. (H/T Young Manhattanite.)

The gaffe came during an interview Wiesel gave on "Fox and Friends," and the chyron was quickly changed to "Nobel Prize Winner". (UPDATE: Fox News appears to have pulled the interview from its website.)

Rick Sanchez was the host of a show on CNN for years.

Fox has supported the Israeli mass murderers more than any other news network I know of. I don't know if what they said was a "mistake", but I'm certain it wasn't a slur against Wiesel or Jews. Like the American government, Fox wouldn't even dream of criticizing Israel. They would sooner see 100 million Arabs murdered than criticize Israel. Thats why anyone that criticizes Israel is fired from their job in America, the most recent example being Helen Thomas, the white house correspondent and reporter for more than 50 years. Prior to that Rick Sanchez was fired for calling the Jewish comedian John Stewart a "bigot".

Don't worry, while you can criticize other countries, religions and groups in the USA, free speech is not an excuse to criticize Israel and I'm certain this was not an intentional slur against Wiesel.

I'll give you the slur. Wiesel has made huge money off of the "Holocaust Industry" in which American Jewish organizations have blackmailed and extorted from the European governments to enrich people that didn't suffer one iota during WW II (the fat lawyers for those organizations).

Here is some suggested reading for others on this thread. Read the "Holocaust Industry" by the brilliant Jewish American academic Norman Finkelstein. His parents were Polish Jews and he is the man that documented the blackmail and extortion of Europe by Jewish organizations for billions of dollars.

I'm sure it was an accident, a flub made by an MBA grad who never heard of Wiesel, his works, his work, or the Holocaust. Just like when my local news station aired a story referring to a "pregnant lady" and a "guy who the cops were after", our standards for news reporting are sinking. America, our ignorance is showing.

mostly children and grandmothers)and the USA supported this when it refused to ask Israel to pull out and stop the murder.

The coup de grace has to be the USA building huge holocaust memorials in several states (and smaller ones in the other states) to Jews who died on another continent while ignoring the American genocide of the American Indian and 300 years of slavery in the American "democracy".

Almost 60 million people died in WW II, almost all these people were from Europe. 6 million Jews died and about 50 million gentiles died including millions of Russians, Ukrainians, Poles and Germans too. The allied armies gang raped two million German women during WW II, murdering many of them in front of their families when they were done, but this has been completely ignored.

Elie Wiesel truly is a holocaust winner.

speaking as someone whose ancestors signed the treaty of dancing rabbit creek the indians had it coming. they could have stopped it had the alagonquine leadership been more united, had the northeast tribes banded together against the white man instead of dissolving into petty tribal warfare with no longterm view of the problem. we had it coming, but that doesn't excuse the crime and americas foundations will always be built on red bones and black sweat.

Its an accurate description, even if its strange. As part of the "Holocaust Industry" that has blackmailed and extorted billions of dollars from many European countries (they're working on the economically struggling eastern European countries to cough up cash now) Elie Wiesel has probably made more money off the holocaust than any other person alive. There have been some fraudsters such as Binjamin Wilkomirski who wrote the international bestseller Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood and made fantastic money off of a lie when he actually never suffered a day in his life under NAZIS (he grew up in neutral Switzerland), but few people have contributed as much publicity and made as much money off the holocaust as Wiesel.

And Israel owes a lot to Wiesel as it does to many other propagandists. Pushing the holocaust down every member of western civilization's throats has been a central part of Israeli and Jewish organizations strategy to create sympathy for Jews and a feeling of guilt for gentiles so Israel can murder defenseless Palestinians in cold blood and brand the people they stole their land from as terrorists. And it has worked brilliantly. The war criminals in the US government have looked the other way, refused to criticize Israel on anything and have been supplying the military superpower Israel with weapons (including nuclear weapons) and billions of dollars in cash every year almost since its founding and supporting the slaughter of Palestinians (the last occurrence in 2007 when Israel murdered 1,400 Palestinians,

unrelated but kind of awesome, my dad was in stalingrad and he saw human bones on a river bank and asked about them. His guide said they were german soldiers bones, dad asked why they hadn't been buried, his guide replied if they want to be buried they should haunt their kinsman to come do it we aren't going to give them the trouble or sweat.

whom ever typed "holocaust" and "winner"   in the same text line should have had shudders going through their soul for the oxymoronic nature of the error

You must not know anything at all about Mr. Wiesel,   or the Holocaust, for that manner.

Accident, probably, or someone typing in a joke. I'm Sure FOX is issuing an apology, right?
