Fox News: The Seth Rich slime "gift" that never stops giving

New York Times media columnist Ben Smith writes about how Fox got Seth Rich's parents to agree to postpone public announcement that their suit against Faux had been settled until after Nov. 3, 2020 and election day. Smith makes it clear that this was an election gift to help Trump and bells the cow of Rupert Murdoch itself.

He also reminds us that, although Julian Assange was the first gooser of the rumor, Fox was the second and far bigger.

Seth's brother, Aaron, not a party to his parents' suit, wonders why Faux can't simply apologize, especially now that the suit is settled and there's no legal liability in apologizing.

So, remember anybody who claims that Faux is normalizing a bit, versus Newsschmucks or Scrambled Onion? No, it's not. Not as long as Rupert and Lachlan are in charge.
