Read Baier’s statement below, via Mediaite:
“After a weekend of skiing with my wife and two boys in Montana, driving to the airport Monday morning on icy roads, we were involved in a major car crash. Thanks to a man driving by named Zach who stopped and helped, we were able to climb out of the flipped car. And thanks to the first responders and Montana Highway Patrol – we made it to the hospital quickly. We are very grateful to all of those who helped us out. My advice to everyone is to always wear your seatbelt and to count your blessings everyday. I tweeted this out as we left the hospital banged up, but alive. — ‘Don’t take anything for granted – every day is a blessing and family is everything. It’s always good to remind yourself of that before something does it for you.’”
he and his family “left the hospital banged up, but alive.”
"I’d like to thank the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for ensuring that my family had a safe, crash-survivable vehicle. I’d also like to thank the publicly-funded Highway patrol.
Other than that, all government is useless and totally sucks!
At least until dinner, is my Romaine lettuce safe to eat again?"
–Every. Faux. Nudes. Anchor.
Don’t expect any big redemption story out of this. That’s a screenwriter thing. In real life most people think, “Whoa, coulda checked out on that one. Makes you realize what’s important.” And they feel that for like a week or so and then they’re back to normal.
If you really appreciate life, then stop fucking lying every day in your job. Even if you have to switch networks.
