Ah, so this is the Left's inane Trump accusation du-jour... how very creative. Too bad it's going to focus so much more national attention on the Seth Rich murder by Hillary operatives.

DOH!!!!!

LOL that’s pretty good right there, “pushing FAKE quotes”. Like
1. No media outlet checks the validity of Trump quotes, especially anti-Trump ones when they could slam Fox.

2. This isn’t some leftist spin doctor setting up the “this is old debunked news, yawn” rebuttal for the future reveal of the Seth Rich murder connections.

No crime. This is a civil suit looking for money damages. The “Trump angle” is superfluous to the allegations. Partisan lawyer, partisan plaintiff.

Lying to reporters and pushing false stories is not illegal either! The "limit" is defamation.

oh come on surely you do not think this has anything on it, or the President has done anything wrong. Since when has the media ever told the truth about the President.

I am still shocked to see a handful of freepers on here, who actually think the media tells the truth, and actually thinks there is something about this article.

It really confirms how some people no matter how many warnings still get suckered by a con.

thats the problem... when you think everything is a lie, sooner or later something actually turns out to be true.

The Foxes working for Trump, seriously? Seth Rich was a Bernie supporter, and IF the Russians did anything to interfere with our elections, it was to help out Bernie, NOT Trump. Anybody check Bernie's campaign war chest? Bernie did eventually sell out to the DNC for a vacation home... who paid for that house?

Exactly.

And it’s a real problem.

I think we were all raised in more innocent times to show respect for our elders, our teachers, the authorities and the leaders in various fields of expertise.

The historians, scientists, economists, even journalists, news anchors and political leaders were due a certain amount of respect for having risen to the top of their fields.

The problem is that although respect for credentials and obedience to authority may be appropriate for children, in adulthood, there is no place for it in a self-governing Republic.

Respect and obedience must be replaced with philosophic principles, critical thinking skills, independent reason and judgement. And a feirce sense of individual liberty.

Journalists, politicians, historians, scientists, religious leaders, etc. - all can provide society with knowledge and insight - but only when combined with a healthy dose of skepticism, critical thinking skills and independence.

Experts are mere human beings; agenda driven and often grant funded - they are a priceless resource but must be used selectively, like a library, but we as individuals must remain in the driver’s seat.

Trouble is, most people I know don’t operate that way. They like to leave everything to the experts.

It’s going to be our undoing.

“False news about the murder of Seth Rich” - yet another gross misstatement by the MSM. How can one say that ANY information about the murder of Seth Rich is false when no one’s paying attention to it, no one’s investigating it and the MSM won’t talk about it. Oh, and the parents, who desperately wanted “the truth” about Rich’s murder at the outset, fired Rod Wheeler and are no longer seeking “the truth”.
