Fox News didnt investigate its Seth Rich coverage like it promised, so Media Matters is doing it for the network. This is the third in a series marking the two-year anniversary of Foxs publication of a story -- retracted seven days later -- that promoted the conspiracy theory that the murdered Democratic National Committee staffer, and not the Russians, had provided the DNC emails to WikiLeaks. Read part one in our series here and part two here.
But after reviewing the networks coverage as part of Media Matters investigation into Foxs Seth Rich reporting, Ive concluded that Fox host Laura Ingraham topped them all by suggesting that Richs parents were squelching efforts to find out the truth about their sons death for partisan or monetary gain.
Ingraham offered this sickening theory during a May 16, 2017, appearance on Fox & Friends. FoxNews.com had just published an article on the Rich case which used incredibly thin sourcing to report that Rich had been killed after he gave tens of thousands of internal DNC emails to WikiLeaks, and that his murder was being covered up.
After reading from the article, co-host Steve Doocy turned to Ingraham for her take, saying, So it looks like, this is a possibility, this is a guy who provided to WikiLeaks all those DNC email. She responded by immediately raising questions about Richs death.
