Fox News hypes WikiLeaks claims about Clinton’s ties to Russia — just as Trump asks followers to watch



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/fox-news-hypes-wikileaks-claims-about-clintons-ties-to-russia-just-as-trump-asks-followers-to-watch/

President Donald Trump lashed out late Monday on Twitter against the Russia scandal “hoax” and accused his former rival, Hillary Clinton, of Russian ties — and Fox News carried the story forward the following morning.

The president complained there had been little investigation of an investment by a Russian energy company into a U.S. firm while Clinton’s former campaign chairman, John Podesta, sat on the board.

About 10 hours later, “Fox and Friends” hosted the author of “Clinton Cash” to explore those claims, and Trump once again took to Twitter — this time to hype the TV news segment as it aired.




Peter Schweizer, the book’s author, told host Steve Doocy that Podesta had in 2011 joined the board of Joule Unlimited Technologies, a privately held company based in Massachusetts that attracted a Russian investor about two months later.

My nephew got caught cheating on his 3rd grade math test. He said, 'But Billy has the answers written on his palm! Why isn't he getting detention?'

They both wound up getting detention.
