Story So Bogus Even Fox Had To Apologize

So Fox News had a weakly sourced dubious story. RCP and The Hill further distorted and added additional falsities. Now even Fox News … yes, even Fox News has been forced to admit the story was a “mistake.” Bret Baier says he’s “sorry.” This is not typical behavior for Fox. So I guess I give them some limited credit because stories being tendentious or fake or poorly sourced is usually okay at Fox. Maybe the post-Ailes Fox is slightly different.

This was BS from the word go. This is all part of the crop of the Giuliani/FBI/Trump/Fox News bullshit farm. Lies and agitprop, corruption of our basic governmental institutions. Truly a disgrace.
