Fox Trolling Biden.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News has reached a settlement with slain Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich’s parents, who alleged in a lawsuit that the cable news company exploited their son’s death in stories and commentary.

Both sides confirmed the settlement on Tuesday.

Rich was shot and killed in 2016 in Washington, D.C., in what authorities described as a botched robbery attempt. His parents, Joel and Mary Rich, had objected to a Fox article and commentary falsely suggesting their son had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign.

Internet theories that Rich had been assassinated for leaking emails were contradicted by U.S. intelligence reports.

A lower court had thrown out the lawsuit, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan last year reinstated it. The court said that the family had plausibly alleged what amounted to a campaign of emotional torture.

Rich’s parents, in a statement, said the settlement closed another chapter in their efforts to mourn their son, who was 27 when he was killed.

“We are pleased with the settlement of this matter and sincerely hope that the media will take genuine caution in the future,” the Riches, of Omaha, Nebraska, said.

Neither side disclosed financial terms of the deal.

“We are pleased with the resolution of the claims and hope this enables Mr. and Mrs. Rich to find a small degree of peace and solace moving forward,” Fox said in a statement.

Since Biden is about to take office and Trump's lame insurrection has fizzled, Fox is already blaming Biden for everything and anything they can to scare their flock back to them.

Pushing the 'New Migrant Caravans' and 'but China'ing Swallwell stories that they are currently trying to scare people into believing, using their propagandists megaphone to spread cherry picked narratives and anything anti-Democrat in order to take away from the very real violent right wing mob that sacked our nation's capital that they helped stir up for years.

I tend to keep MSNBC on as background noise. I don't know about the other major networks outside of their Sunday news shows, but I think the pandemic and learning about the propaganda campaign that they were complicit in by covering stories that were click baited into existence by Trump's militarized trolls (foreign and domestic) really helped them step up their game.

I noticed about the same kind of changes in MSNBC as I did in national news stations after 9/11 this year.

I am hoping Biden works to fix all the things Trump broke in the national press immediately.

let us not forget "Democrat Biden is a communist". I heard that a few days ago when I did a cursory listen in on right wing radio.
