Fox Got Played By Running With Imprisoned Hacker’s Lie
#1
Not that that matters since their viewers saw it so now they will believe it and never believe it could be wrong.

Quote:FBI: Hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, Known As “Guccifer,” “Admitted He Lied To FOX News About Hacking The Clinton Server.” According to documents released by the FBI in relation to its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, “FBI forensic analysis of the Clinton server during the timeframe Lazar claimed to have compromised the server did not identify evidence that Lazar hacked the server.” Additionally, the documents reveal that during questioning by the FBI, Lazar “admitted he lied to FOX News about hacking the Clinton server.” From the FBI documents:

Fox News Had Run With Hacker’s Claim Despite Lack Of Evidence

Fox’s Catherine Herridge: Lazar “Claimed He Easily -- And Repeatedly -- Breached Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton’s Personal Email Server.”
 Fox News’ chief intelligence correspondent, Catherine Herridge, reported in an “exclusive” FoxNews.com article that she had interviewed Lazar, who “claimed he was able to access the server -- and provided extensive details about how he did it and what he found.” Herridge acknowledged that “Lazar's claims cannot be independently verified,” but she claimed that the server “may have an electronic record that would confirm or disprove Guccifer’s claims.” From Fox’s May 4 report:

Quote:EXCLUSIVE: The infamous Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer,” speaking exclusively with Fox News, claimed he easily – and repeatedly – breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server in early 2013.
"For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody," Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held.

Guccifer’s potential role in the Clinton email investigation was first reported by Fox News last month. The hacker subsequently claimed he was able to access the server – and provided extensive details about how he did it and what he found – over the course of a half-hour jailhouse interview and a series of recorded phone calls with Fox News.
[…]

While Lazar's claims cannot be independently verified, three computer security specialists, including two former senior intelligence officials, said the process described is plausible and the Clinton server, now in FBI custody, may have an electronic record that would confirm or disprove Guccifer’s claims.

Fox & Friends
 Hosts: “Well, He Said It Was Really Easy, So If He Said It Was Easy, Maybe A Whole Bunch Of Other People Did Too.” While pushing Lazar’s claims, Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt said that “if there is truth to” what Lazar said and Clinton’s server was “hacked by a third party,” that “could mean [Clinton] is indicted.” Co-host Steve Doocy added that the hacker “said it was really easy, so if he said it was easy, maybe a whole bunch of other people did too.” From the May 5 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends:

Quote:STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Regarding her last point, apparently he was interviewed by NBC before he was extradited from Romania, which would have been, I believe, seven weeks ago. And he said he easily cracked into Hillary Clinton's email server. Why did NBC sit on the story for two months during this big presidential race?

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Without making it public.

DOOCY: Yeah, I wonder why. Why?

EARHARDT: The mainstream media. Well, if there is truth to this --

DOOCY: Are they trying to help somebody?

EARHARDT: If he is convicted for hacking into her email account, this does make the case that she was hacked by a third party, which could mean she is indicted as well.

DOOCY: Well, he said it was really easy, so if he said it was easy, maybe a whole bunch of other people did too. [Fox News, Fox & Friends5/5/16]

Fox’s Eric Bolling: Clinton’s Server “Was Getting Hacked Repeatedly By Guccifer.”
 On the May 5 edition of The Five, co-host Eric Bolling hyped Guccifer’s baseless claims, saying that Clinton’s server “was getting hacked repeatedly by Guccifer.” [Fox News, The Five5/5/16]


Fox’s Kimberly Guilfoyle: Lazar’s Claims Are “Significant … This Is Evidence That” Clinton’s Server “Was Breached.” 
Fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle claimed that the Lazar’s claims were “significant” and were “evidence that” Clinton’s server “was breached.” From the May 5 edition of Fox News’ The Five:

Quote:KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): I think this is significant, it really establishes a prima facie case against her. So, this is the type of information that exactly the Justice Department, the FBI should be looking at. It really establishes -- you don’t have to prove that she had the specific intent or to willfully violate or be reckless with it, you’re just not supposed to do what she did. This is evidence that it was breached. And as we sit here right now, do we really know exactly what information that he was able to get access to? Who knows. And this is all during that time, as well, during Benghazi, during Chris Stevens, when you’re privy to all of that confidential communication, access, location, timetables, scheduling, anything in terms of travel and what different diplomats around the world are doing and where they’re stationed, their movements.

Doesn't matter who did or don't hack it. Doesn't make the actual act of using a private email server for state dept emails any less moronic. I'd prefer someone with a base level of IT intellegence. Not asking much.

It maters when the accusation is worse than the reality.

Like all the things said about the Clinton Foundation that haven't been proved by the Trump Foundation gets caught and fined for something illegal.

To be fair (not that I'm actually worried about defending Fox), but Guccifer was claiming this months before the media knew anything about it.

And?

FOX ran with it as "proof".  Think they'll run as many corrections as they did accusations?

I was actually thinking about saying this, as his story changed after extradition.

We all know that Fox will not run any retraction, just as other networks would not if it were a story connected to a candidate they slanted against.
(If there is any retraction concerning Trump/MSNBC or the likes, please correct me. I do not watch tv news, anymore.)

Me too, but that is a pipe dream as our current political climate stands.
