Fox News didnt investigate its Seth Rich coverage like it promised, so Media Matters is doing it for the network. This is the third in a series marking the two-year anniversary of Foxs publication of a story -- retracted seven days later -- that promoted the conspiracy theory that the murdered Democratic National Committee staffer, and not the Russians, had provided the DNC emails to WikiLeaks. Read part one in our series here and part two here.
Theres a long list of despicable comments that Fox News personalities have made over the past two years while promoting conspiracy theories about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich -- from host Lou Dobbs claiming that there was a partisan shroud around Richs family to senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano asserting that Rich had been killed assassination-style. Host Sean Hannity ran a gruesome campaign on his shows and on Twitter to use Richs murder to counter the fact that the Russians had hacked the DNC servers and leaked its emails to help Donald Trump win the presidency.
But after reviewing the networks coverage as part of Media Matters investigation into Foxs Seth Rich reporting, Ive concluded that Fox host Laura Ingraham topped them all by suggesting that Richs parents were squelching efforts to find out the truth about their sons death for partisan or monetary gain.
Ingraham offered this sickening theory during a May 16, 2017, appearance on Fox & Friends. FoxNews.com had just published an article on the Rich case which used incredibly thin sourcing to report that Rich had been killed after he gave tens of thousands of internal DNC emails to WikiLeaks, and that his murder was being covered up.
After reading from the article, co-host Steve Doocy turned to Ingraham for her take, saying, So it looks like, this is a possibility, this is a guy who provided to WikiLeaks all those DNC email. She responded by immediately raising questions about Richs death.

Attacking Parkland survivors wasn't enough for Fox to fire her.
