Meanwhile Fox News was forced to apologize and cut ties with one of its contributors, conservative podcast host Michael Knowles, after he described Greta as a "mentally ill Swedish child."
"The comment made by Michael Knowles who was a guest on The Story tonight, was disgraceful — we apologize to Greta Thunberg and to our viewers," the network said in a statement, adding that Knowles will not be booked as a guest in the future.Fox host Laura Ingraham also came under fire on Twitter for comparing Greta to Stephen King's "Children Of The Corn" — most noticeably from her own brother.
"Clearly my sister's paycheck is more important than the world her three adopted kids will inherit," Curtis Ingraham tweeted. "I can no longer apologize for a sibling who I no longer recognize. I can and will continue to call out the monstrous behavior and the bully commentary born out of anger." Clearly my sister’s paycheck is more important than the world her three adopted kids will inherit. I can no longer apologize for a sibling who I no longer recognize. I can and will continue to call out the monstrous behavior and the bully commentary born out of anger.
