Fox News, hilariously, has now been called out by their biggest fan.

When President Trump repeated a Fox News conspiracy theory as fact, he libeled a former president AND started an international incident with America's closest ally.  Fox, of course, had not a shred of evidence and backpedaled as fast as they could once they realized that the President of the United States was accepting their disinformation campaign at face value.

To be fair, plenty of Tea Party and GOP politicians like to toy with the idea of Fox News fantasy as true, but while most politicians deal in daggers and rapiers, Donald Trump is more of a blunt instrument. He doesn't grasp nuance or subtlety.  He prefers to deliver his message with a sledgehammer.

That works for him, and it works for his fans, but Fox News can't afford to have Congressional hearings every time they float a new theory.  As long as Trump is watching, Fox is going to have to learn to be careful how they word their future accusations.
