Fox News labels Elie Wiesel "Holocaust Winner"

So it's pretty on the table at this point that Fox News plays fast and loose with its facts — the hallmark of any good news outlet, of course — but this is a new level. In a segment on human rights last week, Fox and Friends accidentally labeled Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel as "Holocaust Winner." Oof.
In all fairness, the mistake was likely made in an attempt to combine the titles "Holocaust survivor" and "Nobel Prize Winner" for Wiesel's appearance, but still... really not good. The mistake was corrected quickly, and comes at about :50 in the above clip.

Coulda been worse. Coulda said, "Holocaust Whiner."
I once heard him referred to as "Holocaust Weasel", though that was years ago.
They make "mistakes" like this all the time over there - it's not news. (intentional ambiguity)
