YESTERDAY, FOX NEWS was doing a piece on the first female fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates. It didn’t go so well.
Maryam Al-Mansouri is participating in the US-led military strikes against Syria, so Fox News presenter Kimberly Guilfoyle decided to do a brief segment saluting her and her efforts.
