Fox News is taking (the usual) unfair beating Tuesday; as Twitchy reported, a journalist for the Miami Herald noted that Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was killed in Ukraine and the women on “Outnumbered” were talking about inflation. A quick check of Twitter showed that Fox News had been reporting on Zakrzewski all morning, just not during the 30 seconds that the Miami Herald’s reporter happened to tune in. Imagine reporting on two stories at once.
Now Fox News is being shamed again by Olga Rudenko, chief editor of the Kyiv Independent, for not even mentioning that Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshinova had been killed in the same attack.
This is the Ukrainian member of the @FoxNews crew. She was killed today alongside their cameraman.
Fox News doesn’t even mention her in their report.

Compare the headlines at Fox and elsewhere. (NYT has since changed their, adding that two journalists were killed) pic.twitter.com/VPBEv6NCAC

As of this writing, Rudenko posted those screenshots 20 minutes ago, meaning she could have included this headline from the Fox News website:
In the story, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott says, “We held off on delivering this devastating news earlier today out of respect for her family whom we have been in touch with throughout and we extend our deepest condolences to them.”

What monsters.
The literally did after her parents were notified and it was confirmed.

They posted the news before you tweeted. So… yea.

Did you ever stop to think her info was NOT released until it was confirmed that her family had been notified? I truly hope they had before YOU put this info out there!!

Here’s Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst:
Sasha was killed alongside Pierre. She was talented, well-sourced and witty. She liked photography, poetry and music. We became fast friends over a shared love of coffee. She was 24 years old. pic.twitter.com/5iVcUwZgpu

@olya_rudenko Maybe you should do some journalism first before going off on this rant.

The New York Times gets a pass, but Fox News is accused of being a Russian propaganda outlet.
