On Monday, a newly released Department of Justice Inspector General’s report on the origins of the Donald Trump Russia investigation refuted claims that the probe started as the result of political bias against Trump on the part of FBI agents and officials. But according to an analysis by Wired Magazine published on Thursday, viewers of Fox News received a very different picture of the report.
The conservative cable news network, according to Wired writer Garrett M. Graff, told its audience that Inspector General Michael Horowitz “blew open the base corruption that has driven every attack on the president since 2016.”
Fox News has also told its viewers that Trump’s opponents have “spun a web of lies” about his involvement with Ukraine. The network has given airtime to Republicans who claim that Ukraine rather than Russia was behind the cyber-attack on the 2016 presidential election, a claim that is actually Russian propaganda, U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded.
