TRANSCRIPT Fox Reports 05/05/03 (Voice over photo of Bobby Sands full screen) “And
on this day in the year 1981 the Irish Republican Army “Hunger Striker”
Bobby Sands died in Northern Ireland Maze prison on his 66th day with
no food. Moral is, eat more often. And
that’s your news…. Thanks for trusting us.” NOTES: The quote marks around “Hunger Striker” above reflect Shepard Smith’s very deliberate phrasing which was clearly intended to mock. Mr. Smith also appeared to have difficulty with the name of the nation of Ireland, which he at first called “Airland”. |
