FOX News has reached a settlement with the family of Seth Rich just before Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs were scheduled to give depositions. They promoted conspiracy theories that the Clintons and the DNC had him murdered.
Fox News's propagation of this conspiracy theory was one of the cruelest acts in media of the 21st Century. The fact that they fought the Riches in court for more than two years is an outrage as well.
Fox News star Sean Hannity was once his network’s most prominent booster of conspiracy theories about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, only stopping the rumor-mongering after Rich’s grieving parents publicly begged him to knock it off.
Now, Hannity will have to answer questions, under oath, about Fox’s coverage of Rich’s death. Hannity, along with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs and a host of Fox staffers, is set to be deposed in late October over the network’s debunked reporting on Rich, which falsely claimed that he had leaked thousands of Democratic emails to WikiLeaks—a leak, they suggested, that led to his politically-motivated murder.
