During the January 4 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, a teaser aired for an upcoming report on a Los Angeles police chase that ended with the male perpetrator forcibly kissing his female companion. Co-host Steve Doocy exclaimed, “Wait, that's a kiss? What?” and fellow co-host Ainsley Earhardt pointed out that “she doesn't look like she wants to be kissing him” as the on-screen chyron labeled the apparently nonconsensual act “a passionate arrest”:

Nonetheless, Fox's Jillian Mele started her report on the story by calling the police chase a “hot pursuit” and saying, “Police breaking up the passion by tasing the man and tackling the woman”:

JILLIAN MELE (HEADLINES ANCHOR): OK, so we're giving the phrase “hot pursuit” a whole new meaning, I tell you. A couple getting in one last kiss after leading police on a two-hour chase. The woman is accused of stealing a U-Haul truck, then leading officers on a pursuit through Los Angeles, but a blown tire ended the whole thing. Police breaking up the passion by tasing the man and tackling the woman. Both were arrested and treated for drugs.
