Bret Baier deserves the Brian Williams treatment for his shameful pushing of a fake story on Fox

...regarding the supposedly "imminent indictments" from the FBI about the Clinton Foundation.

Dan Rather--one of the most respected television journalists ever--reported on a true story that unfortunately cited to some falsified documents and he lost his job at CBS.

Brian Williams told a tall tale about his exploits during the Iraq War, and he was suspended and kicked to the bottom of the totem pole at NBC.

Bret Baier pushes a shamefully false and bogus story five days before a presidential election and there's very little outcry over it. I understand he works for Fox News, hardly the paragon of responsible media, but that doesn't change the gravity of what he did.
