A peek into the alternative universe of 'faux news.'

The "Banner Headline" at Fox News website the morning of May 16, 2017:

DC MURDER MYSTERY Slain DNC staffer was WikiLeaks’ source, say investigators

This 'NEWS' contains all the hallmarks of another 'vast right wing conspiracy theory' - and more evidence of why that rightwing bubble never gets pierced, considering the headlines at every other news source.

A federal investigator who reviewed an FBI forensic report -- generated within 96 hours after DNC staffer Seth Rich's murder -- detailing the contents Rich’s computer said he made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time.

The revelation is consistent with the findings of Rod Wheeler, a former DC homicide detective and Fox News contributor and whose private investigation firm was hired by Rich’s family to probe the case. Rich was shot from behind in the wee hours, but was not robbed.

WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange has stopped short of identifying Rich as the source of the emails, but has taken a keen interest in the case, and has not denied working with Rich.

Wheeler believes powerful forces are preventing the case from a thorough investigation.

“My investigation shows someone within the D.C. government, Democratic National Committee or Clinton team is blocking the murder investigation from going forward,” Wheeler told Fox News. “That is unfortunate. Seth Rich’s murder is unsolved as a result of that.”

1. every time I google Seth Rich

I get the same stories, but all seem to be fox related. I guess time will tell all if this gets any legs

2. THIS is what the Trumpsters are being told is the 'News of the Day.'

Along with the very serious problem of "former Obama and Clinton staffers in the Intelligence Community" leaking to the Washington Post to discredit the White House. "Sore losers!"

The 'right' doesn't even receive the same news we do!

Just as we don't watch Fox, they don't watch MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS or NBC. This is a problem.
