Fox news uses attack in Barcelona to deflect how the terror attack in US caused stock market drop.

The terror attack in Barcelona is horrible but Fox news is using it to deflect from the terror attack in the US last week and saying it is the cause of the stock drop when really this stock drop is a result of what happened in the US this week

even then I don't think that would cause a drop in stock market. It was slipping last week.

Fox news created all of this.

For years they have worked for this day, a Nazi in the White House.

along with a hostage situation going on. But I don't think that's what's hitting the markets. It's a drop in confidence in Trump among business leaders.
