I believe you are using Ad Hominem here, and if you looked, they did cite their source (unlike when Ann decided to say "many scientists". Got to love that bandwagon approach).
Edit: just to restate it, some offcials are apparently breaking out in tears and claiming it was not safe at all.
My point is that Fox sometimes make remarks that are way off of what the truth really is. The Chernobyl comment was somewhat off (the truth is that the design of the Japan nuclear reactors is much safer than the Chernobyl one; no need to seal it up in a concrete cofffin if it goes to worse). But they've made worse comments on news stories which got them ridiculed. I'm sure you can find quite a few examples of that.
And you well know that Fox is biased in favor for those who are on the right. They express it too, and at times its negative publicity for them.
Anyways, enough digression about Fox News; I'm going to get back on topic.
