Fox sure is having a rough year when it comes to lawsuits.

They will have to sue reddit and 4chan.org first. The story started on 4chan, blew up on Reddit, then featured on Fox.

Good luck suing 4chan, that's like suing the internet.

All networks should be held responsible for the accuracy of their reporting. I'm fine with legal ramifications for propagating stories that are created to intentionally deceive the public.

Except reddit and 4chan are bulletin boards, not a news organization. Though with Fox News you need to use the term "news organization" rather loosely. Originally Posted by Beazy

So don't run a story when the sources are 4chan and Reddit. Fox is responsible for what they chose to report. Originally Posted by Beazy

I'm sure the Trump squad will be all over this, given their concern for journalistic integrity. Or does that only apply to CNN not vetting articles properly?

But NPR is fake news, therefore the news that Fox is fake news is fake news so Fox ain't!

Realistically, it should be a problem. Fans of Fox won't care just like fans of CNN don't care when they edit a call to burn down white suburbs. Originally Posted by Heladys

No they don't. Regardless of the original source, it was FOX's responsibility to sight out said source and to verify it. Originally Posted by Beazy

Therefore they're held culpable. It was their story, their actions, and their willingness to allow an unchecked source to dictate their story.

Agreed. CNN msnbc NBC CBS ABC and the other radical leftwing nut job stations should be shut down for the crimes they commit. Originally Posted by PRE 9-11

Sure. Just provide evidence that specific stories are created to intentionally deceive the public, and we can talk about punishment within the law. Originally Posted by Karfal

Fox, BB, Inforwars would be leading that charge long, long, long before any of those. Seriously. Wake the fuck up. Originally Posted by Karfal

But guys, this was totally a legit story that was squashed by liberal media. Hannity told me so.
Is he even still trying to shill this story, or has even he given up on this idiotic conspiracy theory?

Last I heard, he said he wasn't going to talk about it anymore (cause lawsuits) but he never recanted nor even implied that it was false. Originally Posted by Edge-

I wonder if Fox is going to be able to dodge it since they're registered as entertainment and not news.

Naw, he's just using false equivalencies to defend his bias. Note that he offers no example of CNN conspiring with the White House to spread false information about a political opponent. He just SAYS they're the same, and therefore Fox/Trump is off the hook for anything they do. Originally Posted by AndaliteBandit
