The left-wing site Raw Story used a headline to falsely claim that Red Eye guest host Tom Shillue said during Tuesday night’s show that “poor people smell bad.” After Shillue complained they changed the headline to the just as misleading “poor areas smell bad.”
In a humorous segment about the gentrification of New York, what Shillue actually said was “This thing with gentrification, I’ve been hearing this my whole life, you saw those pictures, those old places looked pretty ratty and they stunk.”
As is made obvious if you look at the context of the segment, Shillue is referring to the old, run down businesses that have been replaced by places like Verizon stores.
