I won't go into the things he said, which were in poor taste. What I would like to focus on is the weak apology given by the Fox host, He sent out an .trail apolo- gizing for his comments, but backed that up by stating that people may have misunder- stood what he was saying. Theywere to use stereo- types just� types and cliches of what -`Americans think our military is like. They were:try- in to be funny and it didn't work: .g They thought the subject matter would be funny to their viewers and they didn't look at the big picture of how their comments might impact the fami- lies of those who have lost loved ones. . They were inappropriate- period and the'rem arks .. were said. off the cuff. `rhe. comments made Americans look bad and it was a half-hearted apology. Gutfeld didn't even have the guts to make an apology on air or even through a phone conversation. Cowardice is always done through written word because then people don't have to face anyone for their misconduct. In his mind he probably thinks he has the veil of comedy to protect what he said. Comedy is one ding, but he was trying to be hurtful, even though probably inan ignorant way, since he knows nothing about Canada. tiring • We . may share a border and peak the ; same language, but there are some big differences in our matures.
