Take Your Apology And . . .
This video has gotten more than its share of showing in the media and on the internet.
What gets me is people demand apology and then seem to accept it, as if the whole ordeal was a mistake or an accidental wrong doing. It wasn't!
Dictionary.com defines Apology as:
a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another: He demanded an apology from me for calling him a crook.
Material for a program like this is pre-planned, pre-written and put together to fit a certain broadcast time frame. How can that be accidental?
When you do a live interview and someone makes a 'slip of the tongue' comment, that could be accidental and an apology would be acceptable. That doesn't seem to be the case here - far from it.
I certainly don't put all Americans in this category because I know better. But I hope the majority of Canadians, on behalf of our Canadian Armed Forces and their families, never forgive Fox.
Your apology has the same value as the program's content.
