During Fox News’ coverage of the July 7 London bombings, Washington managing editor Brit Hume told host Shepard Smith that his “first thought,” when he “heard there had been this attack” and saw the low futures market, was “Hmmm, time to buy.” Smith had asked Hume to comment on the lack of a negative U.S. stock market reaction to the London attacks.
