Fox News Walks Back Kevin O’Leary China Claim With On-Air Apology
Fox News and Fox Business aired a rare on-air apology after Kevin O’Leary claimed opponents of his Utah Stratos data-center project were funded by China; the network said there is no evidence supporting the allegations and apologized across four shows. O’Leary later said on social media he has no evidence that the Alliance for a Better Utah or Elevate Strategies are funded by China, though he did not issue an apology himself. The correction was delivered on Johnny Joey Jones’s Big Weekend Show and later aired on Saturday in America, Mornings with Maria, and the Big Money Show.
