BUSTED: Fox Reported on Trump Jr.’s Emails—After They Scrubbed Any Mention of Russian Government
The president’s favorite network continues to downplay the obvious collusion.
July 11, 2017
A senior reporter for Fox News edited out any mention of “Russian” while reporting on Donald Trump Jr.’s emails.
Chief Intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reported on “key sections” of the Trump Jr. email changes, while editing out mention of Russia, Media Matters for America documented.
“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” the email read.
“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information … I can also send this info to your father via Rhona but it’s ultra sensitive so wanted to send it to you first,” Herridge reported the email read, completely skipping over mention of Russia while reporting on investigations into Russian collusion.
The June 9, 2016 meeting with Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower included namesake son Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
“Shortly after Herridge’s report, co-host Meghan McCain filled in the missing quote about the Russian government, noting that it is “the biggest concern in these emails,” Media Matters noted. “Fox has consistently tried to either ignore, or downplay news surrounding Trump and Russia, and has gone as far as creating an alternate reality to distract its viewers. The network’s reaction to these new developments is just the latest example.”

How shameful that Fox news is now acting like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC. I guess I’ll have to continue watching One American News.
