One of Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherie Herridge's earliest reports on the new revelations regarding Donald Trump Jr.’s willingness to receive damaging information against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from the Russian government edited out key parts of the email exchange that showed that Trump Jr. knew the information was indeed from the Russian government. Additonally, during reporting of Fox News' Outnumbered, host Sandra Smith praised the president’s son for “trying to make this as most transparent as possible.”

On July 11, The New York Times published the email correspondence setting up a meeting between Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin. (Trump Jr., in an apparent attempt to pre-empt the Times report, released some of the emails himself on Twitter shortly before the report was posted.) In the initial email, “a trusted intermediary” wrote (emphasis added), “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” Trump Jr. responded, “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

Trump is quoted as saying Fox is the BEST!

They are if lying for him is your goal.

At the base of all this is racism. The one thing the right wants to hold onto, racism.

3. Just like TASS or any other news source from a dictator-led country. Very scary censorship.

The Bozos who only watch Faux are going to be gob-smacked when they cart off Don Jr., Kushner, Manafort, and Flynn among others. "Why? It was a fake story made up by fake news organizations!!" Except what are they going to say when it's the FBI??
