Video: Nile Gardiner Calls Unrest Across Europe 'Nothing Less Than an Uprising' as Fox Reports 1,300 Arrests in a Weekend
Fox says the former Thatcher adviser joined America Reports to discuss riots in France, Italy and Belgium over rising prices. We relied on Fox's headline and description and did not watch the 5:13 clip.
Fox News posted a 5:13 clip titled "Nile Gardiner calls political unrest in France 'nothing less than an uprising.'"
What Fox says. Gardiner, a former foreign policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher, joined Sandra Smith and John Roberts on "America Reports." Fox describes violent anti-government protests and riots across Europe, with citizens clashing with police over rising inflation and economic struggles. It says more than 1,300 arrests took place in France, Italy and Belgium in a single weekend.
What is missing. The listing does not say what Gardiner argued beyond the headline phrase, where the 1,300 figure comes from, or how it divides among the three countries. We did not watch the video, so we cannot report what he said.
Context. We have covered the French protests, the Rome and Milan riots and the State Department's remarks on the unrest.
Note for readers: the headline quote and the arrest figure come from Fox's description only.
