Fox News ignored one of the most moving speeches given at the Democratic National Convention this week.

The conservative cable news channel did not show its viewers a speech given on Wednesday (27 July) given by Christine Leinonen whose son was among the 49 killed in a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando last month.

The speech by the mother of Christopher Leinonen brought many inside the convention hall in Philadelphia in tears.

‘Christopher was my only child,’ she told the crowd. ‘As I used to tell him, you can’t do better than perfect.’

Christopher’s boyfriend Juan also died in the attack.

In her speech, Leinonen spoke of a lack of ‘common sense’ in gun safety laws.

The speech was aired live by CNN and MSNBC.

What did Fox News air instead?

A panel discussion about inner city poverty and about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s appeal to disaffected voters, according to Media Matters.
