Go to twitter now (make sure you're looking at United States trends).

It's Number 3 now.

Once again, facts matter and you show little interest in getting them right. Sad

let me add that after Twitter has been exposed in manipulating its trends to be anti-right, let's not get carried away with calling the Twitter trends of political stories, "facts"

Was he murdered?
Have his killers been found?
Hasn't Assange basically stated that he was his source for the DNC leaks?

Notwithstanding the trail of bodies the Clintons have left in their wake, there's sure a lot of basis for questioning what happened here.

I just read that extremely long and redundant article you linked.

Here is what it says:
1) a former Washington DC policeman (Wheeler) got fired for using marijuana.
2)He has been an employee of Fox News and wanted to be promoted. He wasn't.
3)He applied to the WH to go to work for the Trump administration. He wasn't hired.
4) He got pissed and has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit (he's black) against Fox News.
5)Now he's suing Fox News about the Seth Rich story that he helped develop.
6) Trump's involvement with the Seth Rich/Fox News investigation hinges on a blowhard promoter (Butowsky), known for lying to feather his own bed, claiming Trump read the initial draft of the Fox News story about Seth Rich possibly leaking the DNC emails.
7) Everyone else, including Sean Spicer, says Trump was not involved and had no knowledge of the upcoming story.
8) Even Butowsky now says he made up the part about Trump reading the story in advance.
9) Wheeler is looking for a big payday so he's filed a lawsuit.

You look silly again for posting a Drama Quenn, fake news story.

Breaking! Explosive!

The biased media has neutered these terms.

Guys this isn't a hard story to grasp.

After calling all of its competitors "Fake News", Fox News has instead been shown to have pushed Fake News in it's truest definition.

With the audio tapes and conversations provided in the law suit, we know that fake quotes from fake Fbi officials were created to push a fake conspiracy theory.

Just step back and think about how crazy all of this is.

This would be like if Mueller ended up suing the DOJ for forcing him to investigate Russians if it ends up being false.

Pretty sure the gist of the lawsuit is about FoxNews using fake quotes from Wheeler.

Did you miss the part of the story you linked where Fox News retracted their Seth Rich story a week after it was first reported and said the initial story did not meet their standards of investigating?

WTF is wrong with you? Admit it, you didn't even read your own link before you started making shite up about it!

Wow, the fact that you are just accepting that Sean Spicer met with them to discuss the story ahead of time tells me allot.

At this point, we're negotiating HOW MUCH the Trump admin was involved, not IF. Just, wow

A lot of these type of lawsuits end up being without merit, so I'll hold off on believing this one is any different. It really wouldn't surprise me if this one was true though.

That said, the most interesting aspect to me is that Sean Spicer allegedly met with the alleged conspiracy theorists in the White House.

I never said they didn't retract.

You guys were calling for Blood when CNN messed up one of their stories. 3 people were fired.

NO one was even SUSPENDED for this. Such hypocrites.

What does it tell you? The WH press secretary met with a news reporter and a Trump supporter about a story they said they were developing? OMG!! Hang 'em all!!!

Not alleged. Spicer confirmed that the meeting took place.

First I ever heard of such a thing. I cannot believe politicians pushing narratives in the press?
