    I see you insist on commenting about issues which you admittedly know nothing about.

    Whereas you insist on using one of the leading online conspiracy theorists as the basis for your belief.

There is no indication that…there was any nefarious action taken by any employees in that environment.”

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Fox News has taken the striking step of retracting a story about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, saying it did not meet the network's "high degree of editorial scrutiny."

    "On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting," the network said in a statement released Tuesday. "Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed. We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted."

    Fox News was one of many right-leaning media outlets that floated unsubstantiated theories that Rich provided WikiLeaks internal DNC emails, and that he may have been killed in retribution. Rich was shot to death last July in Washington, D.C., in what police have investigated as a robbery gone wrong.

    Rich's family blasted Fox News and other outlets for promoting unfounded versions of the story.

    "It's sad but unsurprising that a group of media outlets who have repeatedly lied to the American people would try and manipulate the legacy of a murder victim in order to forward their own political agenda," a spokesman for the Rich family told Business Insider. "I think there is a special place in hell for people like that."

    When I got to this sentence, I began to assume you posted satire from "The Onion".

    "The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting," the (Fox) network said "
    The network of serial sexual harassers Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly never struck me as having a "high degree of editorial scrutiny". Are they actually even a news network?

    I always thought Fox was entertainment targeted at mediocre, barely educated, old, conservative white men, no?

    I literally laughed out loud when I read "high degree of editorial scrutiny." IMO Faux is just a cut above sites like Infowars.

    Internet News is where it's at. Only elderly whites and poor blacks get their news from CNN and Fox and their associated dotards.

    How sweet....I'm sure you both had no problem believing Newsweek with their theory (FROM A DNC SOURCE, of course) claiming that the Russian's did it, right.....\''

    No retraction needed there....no laughing about their theory....no questioning what the fuck they mean that "there was every indication it was 'remote' attack by the Ruskies"....no questioning what those 'indications' are......you're both hypocrites, but they you all know that
    Put blame where it belongs

    Trump supporters believe what they're told to believe, and told what not to believe. If they're told to believe a lie, they'll believe it.
