FNC Denies $2 Million Hostage Payment

Fox News is denying this report which alleges that “Palestinian terror groups and security organizations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a U.S. source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig” last summer.

In an internal memo leaked to Drudge, Roger Ailes says: “I just saw an article on the internet from WorldNetDaily.com by Aaron Klein which claims we paid $2 million in hostage money during the Centanni & Wiig kidnapping crisis. The story is absolutely 100% false. Not a cent of hostage money was paid, and it was never considered.”
