Fox News, Hannity and the meaning of 'collusion' Did Fox News collude with the Trump administration to spread a malicious lie? That is the explosive allegation behind a lawsuit filed by Rod Wheeler, a former Fox contributor and police investigator. The story is complicated. Seth Rich was an ambitious 27 year-old who worked for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Last summer he was murdered in Washington in what police think was a botched robbery attempt. Surfing the tide of social media in the most febrile atmosphere Washington has known for decades, Sean Hannity of Fox News promoted a conspiracy theory about the death. He claimed Rich was assassinated because he had shared classified information from Hillary Clinton's campaign with the website WikiLeaks. This theory was taken up by Alex Jones of InfoWars, and former House speaker for the Republicans, Newt Gingrich. Gingrich went on Fox News to say: "It wasn't the Russians [who hacked the DNC's emails]. It was this young guy who was disgusted by the corruption of the DNC". Why would Hannity and Gingrich advance this view? To hurt the reputation of Hillary Clinton and distract attention from claims that the Trump White House was in cahoots with Vladimir Putin's Kremlin. Fox News later retracted the story with the admission that the story was not "subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting". Hannity only abandoned his pursuit of the conspiracy when Rich's parents asked that their son's name not be continuously dishonoured. A presidential link All this would be shocking enough, frankly, but things are so far gone in Trump's Washington that this story has inevitably developed further still. Wheeler's lawsuit alleges that Sean Spicer, former spokesman to the president, not only knew about Fox's story, but shared it with the president - who encouraged Fox to run with it. This despite the fact that on the day of publication - 16 May - Spicer told journalists he was "not aware" of it. Ed Butowsky, a Republican donor and Fox contributor, sent Rod Wheeler a text message saying: "Not to add any more pressure but the President just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. It's now all up to you." Butowsky says this text message was a joke. many of you remember this story because there was at least one thread on here

How risible does a story have to be to fail News International's standards of fact checking? That's like saying a clown car doesn't run smoothly enough...

The usual suspects on here (and FOX-shitshit and their kindred, and right wing sponsored-paid mouth pieces) were screaming it was the leftist death squads: under the order of none other than some mad bint called Hillary Someone for months on end. Heh they, my local shop, still sell the Sport ( I didnt know that) - I was tempted to purchase me a copy They must have run trump stories aplenty? Anyway that’s at least two FOX stories ive done in the last week to tumbleweed - but surely I get some sort of rightwing reward like press secretary, and I feel I would be good at that, or at least secretary of state, maybe even VP (he can be a foreigner?)

WhoreMods -> RE: Did Fox News collude with the Trump administration (8/8/2017 9:12:00 AM)
I think the Sport consider el presidente a bit declasse and leave him to the other redtops. (That said, they did originate that story about Milliband's dad being a kitten killing Marxist who hates Britain which was later picked up by the Fail and the Torygraph among others...) Not sure who owns it since the relaunch, but I don't think it's anything to do with Murdoch.

Too classy for the sport I suppose. Yes, i was just reading up on who started it again as i had forgotten -I totally believe it did happen as that's the kinda high jinks and jolly japes rich toffs get up too, well according to their own biographers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggate well, some on here think me and you make it all up...

Lucylastic -> RE: Did Fox News collude with the Trump administration (8/8/2017 9:41:11 AM)
Re the title. Of course they did. its been ignored as usual by usual suspects because they havent got their talking points yet from other RW media.

The interesting thing about that is that Cameltoe said he was too busy running the country to sue the disgruntled Conservative ex MP who'd told his biographers the story when the fuss about that broke, but he's now not been running the country since Theresa "Miss Piggy's Mum" May was sworn in over a year and still hasn't taken any legal action against anybody over it, which suggests that there's evidence that would prove that he did too fuck a pig's head and that saying so is stating a fact rather than defamation.

I noticed that too :) and I am serious when i say its the kinda of weird disturbed shit some rich toffs get up too - ah too have money eh! What do they call those ceremonies anyway well in England/uk? heh but most on here think we make all that malarkey up :( Where was he schooled anyway, Eton - Christ dont tell me Scotlandshire?

WhoreMods -> RE: Did Fox News collude with the Trump administration (8/8/2017 11:15:02 AM)
Eton and Oxford, I think, so you're in the clear on that one. One nice story I've heard is that applicants to the Bullingdon club struck a record low when the pig story broke, and haven't recovered since. The sorry set up might cease to exist when the current shower of twats composing its membership graduate.

Did FOX collude with the Republicans? Of COURSE they did. Did CNN and MSNBC collude with the Democrats? Likewise
