A Fox News anchor admitted on air on Monday that his show was inaccurate when it claimed on Friday that President Joe Biden was planning to require Americans to sharply reduce their consumption of red meat.
John Roberts, co-host of the afternoon show “America Reports,” made the on air concession after several media outlets published fact check articles explaining that Biden does not have any plan to restrict red meat consumption.
Roberts acknowledged Monday that “a graphic and the script” from his Friday show “incorrectly implied” that a 2020 academic study about meat-eating and greenhouse gas emissions is “part of Biden’s plan for dealing with climate change.” “That is not the case,” Roberts told his viewers.
