For years the Radical Left has done everything they can to try to down Fox News.
And they were hoping that a lawsuit against Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs making its way through the court system could be the final nail in the coffin for Fox News.
But no one expected Fox News to make this shocking confession in court.
Last October, Fox News settled a lawsuit with the family of Seth Rich, a former DNC staffer who was murdered on July 16, 2016 in Washington, D.C. while walking home to his apartment at night.
Seth Rich’s family sued Fox News after the network published a story on their website alleging that Rich was murdered for handing over confidential DNC emails to WikiLeaks during Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, a story that fueled conspiracies across the country.
Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs were set to be questioned for their role in spreading the conspiracy during their shows, but their day in court never arrived because Fox News agreed to a multi-million dollar settlement with Seth Rich’s family.
However, according to Ben Smith, a columnist for the New York Times, Fox News agreed to a settlement under the condition that it not be made public until one month after the November 3 election.
“Fox’s decision to settle with the Rich family came just before its marquee hosts, Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity, were set to be questioned under oath in the case, a potentially embarrassing moment. And Fox paid so much that the network didn’t have to apologize for the May 2017 story on FoxNews.com,” Smith wrote.
“But there was one curious provision that Fox insisted on: The settlement had to be kept secret for a month — until after the Nov. 3 election. The exhausted plaintiffs agreed,” Smith added.
Of course, Fox News clearly got this story wrong when they alleged Rich was murdered for his role in handing over DNC emails to the website Wikileaks.
But unlike the Fake News Media, Fox may actually admit when they make a mistake and report something wrong.
After all, the entire Fake News Media helped spread the Russian collusion hoax on a daily basis.
But since it’s the Fake News Media, no one is holding them accountable.
