After U.S. convoy accident sparked Afghan riots, Your World onscreen text read: "Is Afghanistan Being Ungrateful Towards America?"

Summary: On Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, guest host Terry Keenan asked if the riots that occurred in Kabul, Afghanistan, were the work of "a small group of troublemakers" or whether "the Afghan people [are] simply ungrateful?" During the segment, onscreen text read "Afghan Ingrates?" and "Is Afghanistan being Ungrateful Towards America?"

Introducing a debate on the significance of riots that occurred in Kabul, Afghanistan, following a fatal accident involving a U.S. military truck, Fox News business correspondent Terry Keenan asked if the riots were the work of "a small group of troublemakers" or whether "the Afghan people [are] simply ungrateful?" Keenan made the remark while guest-hosting the May 29 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto; during the segment, onscreen text read "Afghan Ingrates?" and "Is Afghanistan being Ungrateful Towards America?"

As Media Matters for America has noted, the show's regular host, Neil Cavuto, ended the May 22 edition of the program with the following teaser for the next edition: "Are Democratic leaders who criticize the war in Iraq actually aiding the terrorists?"

From The May 29 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:

KEENAN: Today's riots showing just how fragile our relationship is with Afghanistan, a key player in the war on terror. It is also a nation which used to be led by the Taliban, which harbored Osama bin Laden. Now is it just a small group of troublemakers at work here, or are the Afghan people simply ungrateful?

—B.F.
