Lawsuit: Fox News concocted Seth Rich story with oversight from White House

I don't believe everything I read at face value as well. But common sense helps one wade though the mounds of bull****.

See...you say that...but I'm betting you don't actually believe that. I'm betting the more you hear...the more you go "probably bull**** because the last 9000 were." The reality is the bull**** keeps growing. Our media has essentially become clickbait.

It is sad when South Park lunacy is almost as believable as real life.

Actually, your boy was the worst of the worst. Obama never even hit 3% GDP. Trump is approaching that 7 months in. ;) And that's in spite of the relentless hammering by your comrades in the media. ;);)

So the narcissistic, misogynist so-called president, lying liar, l'll donny hasn't hit 3% GDP. Right?

Cultists...pffff!

Honestly, I think I have a very good sense. I suck at a lot of things, but I have bull**** detector with excellent spidey senses. I am also older and 'wiser.'
 
I laughed out loud.

See I already had lost brain cells typing that out as I meant to write "a 15 year NFL veteran." Glad though, you got the gist.

Now please excuse me as I need to find out where to call so I can donate my brain to science. :2razz:

The fiscal year 2017 falls under the Obama presidency.
 
Obama teamed up with Fox News to publish the story? Okay.

There is a third way that is the most likely: Your linked article is full of s***.
 
CNN



Such a sad state of affairs. The ONE guy we can trust, the one beacon of truth, DJT. The tireless crusader against fake news and the stalwart of justice is behind yet another lie and more #fake news. Shame shame.

The entire source of the lawsuit rests on the claims of Rod Wheeler. The same Rod Wheeler who was ridiculed here a few months ago for starting the Seth Rich rumors.

Wheeler was 'crazy' 2 months ago, but now he's telling the truth? How ya figure?

He wasn't just ridiculed here, if memory serves me correctly he was also roundly dismissed and ridiculed at the very news network(CNN) cited in the OP of this thread.

It's a head scratcher, for sure.
 
LOL, I didn't win. I didn't vote for him in the primary.

But your side has whined 24/7 since November.
Your side has crowed since November, and you won't shut-up about your victory - because it's the only thing you've accomplished.
 
Can you please prove the Russian interference? Specifically what did they do? I am just curious. There is a reason I am asking. Let's see if you can get there.

Whitewater. Another example.

Oh. And you can't give a simple explanation as to why he won. There aren't plenty of reasons. In no particular order.

1) democrats put forth one of the most detestable establishment candidates imaginable. Hillary rotten Clinton. Someone who stood for everything obama did...only smellier and more involved in scandal for much longer. A perennial loser as well.

2) free press...not the 1st amendment. But the $3 billion in free press given to trump. Who needs to spend a dime on campaign adds when the democrats and their partisan press can do it for you?

3) a lack of any compromise from the left for the past 8 years. Doesn't matter what happens it is Republican fault. The constant attempt to blame the republicans and refusal to accept any position from republicans may come from a legitimate stance.

4) really could be with 3...but a constant undermining of republican values as "evil" and so on...just think Anti fa. And then remember that republicans are just normal people.

5) liberals wet their pants when Donald took the republican spot. Enough reason for many to vote trump. Just to give the left the middle finger. Something they felt they got for the past 8 years.

6) Supreme Court.

7) there are plenty of other reasons.

What Flake wrote is what I think is as good a reason as any I have heard....
"Who could blame the people who felt abandoned and ignored by the major parties for reaching in despair for a candidate who offered oversimplified answers to infinitely complex questions and managed to entertain them in the process?"
As far as what the Russian did I guess you have been living in a cave. But between the hacking of the DNC and Podesta emails and hiring 1000's of trolls to spam social media with fake news that made Hillary look bad it is not hard to believe that they helped swing the 65,000 votes in 3 blue States away from Hillary. That is not a lot of votes and it is likely that those States were targeted by the trolls bots with some help from Trump.

Ahhh no it doesn't rest only on the claims of Wheeler... :roll:

Now Spicer is 'remembering' the meeting he at first claimed never happened.... Wheeler and the Trumper. Wheeler is suing because his quotes and information was twisted by Faux Noise. Wheeler didn't start any rumors, his research was distorted by Faux noise in an attempt to deflect from the Roosian quagmire.

The truth is coming out in dribs and drabs but deflection at all costs isn't going to save the day... :peace

You already know what they did, stop playing dumb.

In a leaked document by Guccifer 2.0 one can observe the metadata to have previously had a username "Феликс Эдмундович" which translated to the name of Soviet officer 'Felix Dzerzhinsky'. There is also metadata that demonstrates that the leaked opposition research document on Trump that the DNC had written, had hyperlink errors that were also in Russian. What this means is that the hackers were configuring the documents to use the Russian language.

The hackers also used IP address: 176.31.112.10, which has been used by Cozybear before in previous attacks around the world.

Looks like I 'got there', eh? :2wave:

Whitewater. Another example.

Oh. And you can't give a simple explanation as to why he won.
He won because people bought into his public image as a successful businessman that run the country like an efficient corporation. All this stuff about how he won because of SJW's is just wishful thinking by the right-wing. Unfourtenly, his business are astonishingly dysfunctional and corrupt, and that's what he's actually brought to the WH.
 
Butwhatabout!

At least you guys are predictable. :roll:

FWIW, the NPR story has a lot more details. It's pretty damning to Fox News.

Lawsuit Alleges Fox News And Trump Supporter Created Fake News Story : NPR

This story is based on the lawsuit filed by Rod Wheeler. You do remember who Rod Wheeler is, don't you? The same guy who was the main source for the discredited Sean Hannity report about Seth Rich possibly being murdered because he was the one who leaked the hacked John Podesta emails to WikiLeaks? Yeah, that guy.

Let's take a look into Mr. Wheeler's past, shall we? This is from the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2007...

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-...y-factor-lesbian-gangs-are-raping-young-girls

Rod Wheeler as a guest on The O'Reilly Factor stated the following...

After this introduction, O'Reilly went to a split-screen live interview with "Fox News crime analyst" Rod Wheeler.

"Tell me what's going on," O'Reilly said.

Wheeler, a Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department officer-turned-paid Fox News commentator, launched right in: "Well, you know, there is this national underground network, if you will, Bill, of women that's lesbians and also some men groups that's actually recruiting kids as young as 10 years old in a lot of the schools in the communities all across the country," he reported. "And they actually carry a number of weapons. And they commit a number of crimes."

Wheeler asserted that "we've actually counted, just in the Washington, D.C., area alone, that's Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, well over 150 of these crews. … And they — like I said, they recruit these kids to be members of these gangs."

O'Reilly asked, "Now, when they recruit the kids, are they indoctrinating them into homosexuality?"

"Yes," Wheeler answered. "As a matter of fact, some of the kids have actually reported that they were forced into, you know, performing sex acts and doing sex acts with some of these people."

As noted in the SPLC link, Rod Wheeler's presentation of "the facts" to O'Reilly was pretty much a load of horse****.

Editor's note at the end of the article...

EDITOR'S NOTE The day after this story was posted on the Southern Poverty Law Center's website in July, Rod Wheeler issued a "clarification and apology," in which he claimed that he had only "inadvertently stated" that lesbian gangs carry pink-painted pistols, that he hadn't meant to say that there were 150 lesbian gangs in the Washington, D.C., area (he said he meant to say there were 150 gangs of all kinds in the area), that he hadn't meant to say that there was a "national epidemic" of lesbian gangs, and that he hadn't meant to defame the Pink Pistols group. A day later, Bill O'Reilly offered his own weak clarification, saying his report featuring Wheeler's false assertions had been "overstated," but insisting it contained a core of truth.

This guy has a long and well documented history of peddling pure fiction presented as fact yet CNN along with a slew of others are now telling us to believe him despite the fact that these same news outlets were bashing him just a couple of months ago for being the lying scumbag that he obviously is.

Sorry, but I'm filing this "story" in the not-even-worthy-of-wiping-my-ass-with drawer.
 
Back to the OP: FOX news is just plain filth and propaganda with no redeeming human qualities whatsoever.

They've done awful stuff before. They've always run horribly biased hit pieces, but running defense for the WH by insinuating a man with no programming experience or motive hacked his political parties emails, and was murdered by the Clintons in a cover-up is just ****ing disgusting. These people are just pure scum, and I hope Seth Riches family sues them and Hannity.

There's some circumstantial evidence and the shoe fits. It's entirely possible it's not true but hopefully the FBI will eventually fill in the blanks for everyone. :lol:

The stories are reporting what's documented in a lawsuit filed by the guy. I don't recall any of the reporters telling you or anyone else to believe him, or alleging or asserting that the lawsuit is a slam dunk because it's all true. Much of what he claims he backs up with emails, texts, or transcripts of phone calls. Maybe those are all fabricated. We'll see I guess.

We do know that Fox ran with it, then repudiated it and got a big black eye for pushing this BS story - Sean (Stupidest Man on TV) Hannity, especially. Face it - Fox got caught reporting FAKE NEWS! and the fake news reporter is still working at Fox. Guess they didn't mind a whole lot.

Which side has whined since November?

Inauguration attendance
Illegal voters created won HRC the popular vote
Lying news media
Witch hunt

Methinks y'all have things a little turned around.

A new Director/FBI was sworn in today. Mueller may be irrelevant soon. A cursory review of the new Director tells me Trump has nothing to worry about.

Really? What do you think Wray will do to make Mueller irrelevant?

- Fake news stole the election from Hillary
- Appalachian types voted for Trump
- Russia stole the election from Hillary
- The First Amendment is dangerous
- Obstruction of Justice only applies to Trump, not Loretta Lynch
- James Comey was illegally fired, even though Democrats wanted him fired in 2016

Yada, yada, yada
 
LOL, the media/DNC is conjuring up anything possible to deflect from the REAL story out there right now.

Wasserman and her IT team. That is the only story the media should be lathered up over, but they are running from it like the plague.

Right, they should focus on Democrats who are of zero significance and ignore anything about the President. We must get Debbie Wasserman-Schultz! Who is not in any leadership positions whatsoever and is a back bencher in the minority party.

Has Seth Rich's killer been caught? Will he ever be caught? No x2.

Rich's murder remains a 'robbery gone wrong', yet his cell phone and wallet were present on his person when responders arrived.

I don't know if you noticed but my post was not exactly a defense of Fox News. Fox got a black eye for running with a story based largely on "evidence" presented to them by the same guy presenting the "evidence" in this case. I was highly skeptical of the Seth Rich story and my instincts proved to be correct. Why on earth would ANYONE take Rod Wheeler at his word after that debacle? And furthermore, why on earth would any news network with a shred of integrity push this story given what we already know about this guy?
