(Liberal & Unsourced) Fox News Employees 'Disgusted' After Network Pushes Seth Rich

Staffers at the conservative Fox News Channel are blasting host Sean Hannity and others at the network for their "disappointing" choice to push conspiracy theories about the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

"It hurts those of us who are legitimately focused on journalism," one employee told CNN.

"We have a chance to turn the corner at Fox, and perpetuating this conspiracy theory damages our integrity," the employee continued.

Rich, 27, was shot to death last year on the streets of Washington, D.C., Since his slaying, right-wing news outlets have sought to link his death, without evidence, to Hillary Clinton

's campaign and the WikiLeaks release of hacked emails from Clinton's campaign.

Last week, a local Fox station in Washington aired a report claiming Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks before he died. The report, which was also shared by Russia's foreign ministry on Twitter and multiple Fox News personalities, was later discredited by Rich's family.

The employee told CNN that Hannity's aim is to "distract from any and all Trump scandals."

"I'm disgusted by it," they said.

Other employees said that coverage of the conspiracy theory affected the entire network, not just Hannity's show.

"It is disappointing because it drags the rest of us down," another employee added in the report.

"Even if tomorrow, an email was found, it is not a high enough bar of evidence to prove any interactions as emails can be altered and we've seen that those interested in pushing conspiracies will stop at nothing to do so," Rich's family said in a statement.

I’m not jumping in head first on this Seth Rich conspiracy until evidence is brought forth.

Just a regular investigation into the Seth Rich murder will do.

Why isn't Rich's family and those on the democrat side interested in finding out who murdered one of the DNC inner circle at such a critical time?
And why don't they show any interest in the motivation?

Maybe it was just another unexplainable street murder.
or maybe there is more to it.

As far as we know, the muderer and the motivation are unknown.
But an unusually high number of people close to the Clintons do seem to have bad luck ending in death

There’s a WHOOOOOOOOLE lot of people on the Left and the Faux-Right that are very, very nervous about the questions being asked....

[OrangeHoof]

The word “ass ass inate” tells you it was a two-Democrat job.

Where was “conservative” Gary Condit when this happened?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Why wouldn’t these people want to find out who murdered someone? Hmmmm...

[Fhios]

Yea, there’s a big disinformation campaign going on here. Constant barrages of unnamed sources, nobody willing to stand behind what they’re saying.

Used to be called rumor and rumor shouldn’t be headline news. It should be put back in the commentary section.

"We have a chance to turn the corner at Fox, and perpetuating this conspiracy theory damages our integrity," the employee continued.

Yes, only conspiracy theories which are damaging to the President should be pushed, eh, guys?

[Travis McGee]

Amen.

Other employees keep options open for another job when their contract is do kind of like what reporters do aka ass kissers.

"It hurts those of us who are legitimately focused on journalism," one employee told CNN.

These snowflake pukes wouldn't know real journalism if it came up and but them on their iPhone.

Fox is diassembling itself ...and killing the ratings

If One America News Network just starts picking up Fox cast offs

Was not a big BOR fan but he did pull rating

if One America News Network pick him up and put him on in his old time slot.. it would be a bombshell (and FU) move..give OAN some serious weight

I think a good chunk of Fox’s Conservative talent would then follow

let Fox become MSNBC

It’s brewing!!!

[fuzzylogic]

It’s such a contrast. Anonymous sources making vague accusations against our President are treated like facts that can’t be questioned, even if they can’t point to a statute that was violated and can’t provide any evidence.

With Seth Rich we have a known murder victim, unsolved, yet when somebody tries to suggest they have evidence it is denounced as a conspiracy theory and shouted down. As one can’t know what is the truth to an unsolved murder then it’s inappropriate to say it is “false and fake news”. The fact that they claim it is telling....somebody on high REALLY doesn’t want this being followed.

[Titus-Maximus]

Bingo!

“We have a chance to turn a corner at Fox...”

That would be a left turn, of course.

[Augie]

Fox news has turned into complete sh*t. I don’t get why anyone would watch it theses days.

[shhrubbery!]

The employee told CNN that Hannity's aim is to "distract from any and all Trump scandals."

Projection.

The truth is the reverse. CNN et al are desperately pushing their tired, absurd "Trump/Russia collusion" narrative to distract from the DNC/Wikileaks/SethRichMurder scandal.

I heard that last night the MSM ignored the breaking Manchester bombing story for at least a half hour ... in order to push their latest planned, orchestrated "bombshell" leak about Trump (that turned out to be another nothingburger).

Disgusting pickle smoochers...in the USA 68% of HIV/AIDS is among <3% of the population - men who have sex with men.

Even in Islamist countries they carry more than their share of diseases. The Indonesian police raided a gay sex party and arrested 14 men...they forced them into HIV tests and 5 of the men tested positive. They published the test info.
You won’t find single mention of this on Google, but you will find many hits on DuckDuckGo.

Sounds like AB Stoddard speaking. She always sounds like that. she hates Trump and I have to turn the channel when I see her.
