The morning after the hosts of
Fox & Friends treated video of Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancee unconscious as
an opportunity for some absolutely hilarious jokes, they
put on their serious faces to assure viewers that they weren't really joking about domestic violence:
“Comments that were made during this story made some feel like we are taking the situation too lightly. We are not, we were not. Domestic violence is a very serious issue to us, I can assure you.”
ThinkProgress points out that this ... clarification? nonpology? insult to our intelligence? ... took all of 13 seconds. But hey, at least we now have
Fox & Friends' 13 seconds of solemn assurance that when they said that "the message" of a woman being punched in the face by her fiance and then dragged unconscious out of an elevator is to "take the stairs," they weren't taking the situation too lightly.
