Parents Of Slain DNC Staffer Call Conspiracy Theories 'Unspeakably Cruel'

From Fox's website:

On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.

We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted.
​

What is it with right-wing people that they are so given to conceive and propagate conspiracy theories?

I'm just going to point out that this is actually evidence, for hardcore Trumpers like many on this site, that means that politifact is in the pocket of the "deep state" rather than any evidence against their belief in the Seth Rich conspiracy. You have to remember this is the same crowd that touted Pizzagate. The best thing to do is just ignore them. They are always going to be going on some fantastical trip about whatever conspiracy best pushes their worldview. Nevermind the actual conspiracies that are in front of their faces...they prefer the ones that make them feel safe in their spaces.

The Right is in a mental crisis right now (worse than usual) because, ironically, they GOT their guy into the presidency,

but their dream come true has turned into a nightmare.

The only way they could know that it wasn't him is if they knew exactly who it was not being him, and that would be a violation of the law-obstruction of an investigation & witholding evidence, the denouncement itself is borderline problematic.
So the burden is now on you tell us who specifically gave the info emails to Wikileaks and who killed him and for what reason?

Apparently, insofar as the story has turned out to be literally fake news, Fox does not require all of its reporting to undergo a "high degree of editorial scrutiny." Were that so, the story in question would not have been posted, now, would it have? "All," though we can't put a specific figure on it, is very specific in that one exception is enough to make "all" no longer true.

Fox is a media outlet and corporation. It makes money by the words it prints and utters. So, no, Fox does not get cut slack on the use of "all" versus "most" or "some" or "nearly all," or any other less binarily inflexible term than is "all."

Wait, so the Seth Rich stuff is a conspiracy theory, because it hasn't got indisputable evidence behind it?

Yet the Trump Russia thing is not a conspiracy theory?

So the conspiracy believing idiots are accusing others of crafting conspiracy theories. Rich...

You yourself said it was not fake news when you reported Fox was gonna be further investigated the story. Using Dems and MSM own standard there was enough smoke around the theories and story that it warranted further investigation, unless you want to finally admit the whole Russia ruse is fake news gone Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy Rant.

I know for a fact if 35 of your friends & relatives ended up suspiciously dead all having one thing in common-having damaging info on the Clintons criminal activities, you would not dismiss it as coincidental, nor call questioning the connections conspiratorial in thinking, because if you would ignore it then you just sacrificed your Russia argument to save this one.

There is no evidence, not just "indisputable"'. Is no evidence of any kind. Stop pretending that there is some sort of average-strength evidence. There is none.

There no Russia evidence either, so.....

The fact is the Bernie Bro working for the DNC was murdered and coincided with the timing of the Wikileaks. You remember those? The leftists told us they were inconsequential at the time and the corruption irrelevant. Now it matters?

It's all the left has since their policies don't work they have to tear down the other guy.

"There [sic] no Russia evidence either..." Thus no Congressional investigations or Special Counsels.
