Mediaite has learned that Fox News was first approached by Rudy Giuliani to report on a tranche of files alleged to have come from Hunter Biden’s unclaimed laptop left at a Delaware computer repair shop, but that the news division chose not to run the story unless or until the sourcing and veracity of the emails could be properly vetted.

Chris Wallace also called the story “suspicious” and said, “I can understand the concern about this story. It is completely unverified and frankly, Rudy Giuliani is not the most reliable source anymore. I hate to say that, but it’s just true.”
Well I'm convinced now... /sarc

[elpadre]

it can hardly be more convincing than this:

Well Fox most certainly did report it when they had people who sent and received e-mails on his account, so it’s pretty academic at this point.

[Mouton]

Chris, the dem jackel Wallace, ruled on this eh. What happened Chris, they would not let you view the salacious materials??

[gibsonguy]

Ryan/Wallace/Murdoch brats. Is it any wonder FNC is going down the tubes.

[SMARTY]

Well-there was a time when that would matter.

[fhayek]

But Wallace has given the story some weight. He is saying, yeah, if this is true, it's serious, but we don't know if it's true.

What this does is paint FOX and others into a corner if the facts give credence to the story.

Chris Wallace also believed Scully.

Hmmmm. Chris might want to hone his journalistic skills.

[canuck_conservative]

But the Biden campaign hasn’t actually denied any of it ... they hem & haw a lot, but so far no denial ...

as for the so-called “journalist” Chris Wallace, he obviously has his own agenda ... and objectivity isn’t included

[RatRipper]

Sounds like a news organization digging hard for the truth /sarc

Fizzy Wall-a$$ is a lightweight leftist apologist in danger of actively squandering the gift of freedom of the press that made him rich.

[Alberta's Child]

For what it’s worth, Rupert Murdoch also owns the New York Post — which DID run the story.

[damper99]

Adam Schiff has declared it Russian misinformation, so that’s all Fox needs to justify it’s stance.

[laweeks]

OAN or NewsMax is the place to go. Other than maybe Tucker and Laura, the rest is crap.

[Cowboy Bob]

One way to resolve this issue - release the videos.

[Diogenesis]

bs.

FOX (SOROS) “News” pushed the Russia hoax
endlessly THROUGH Wallass’ recent hoax.
FOX KNEW about the rape tapes of BIden but
was beholden to Soros.

FOX “News” and their advertisers should be boycotted
and bankrupted.

[rexthecat]

I think that it’s unfortunate that Guliani and Bannon are driving this.

[Steely Tom]

Perhaps Rudy Giuliani has at his disposal some means for verifying the credibility of the information in Hunter Biden’s laptop that Fox News does not.

[BuckeyeGOP]

and before Scully confessed to lying about being hacked, Wallass was defending him and said “he’s never lied to me”..

lol

[Bob434]

[[tranche]]

they will bury the tranche in a trench if possible

[Grampa Dave]

Any fake news individual/outlet passing on this critical issue should be passed by viewers as long as they playing this game.
