NEW YORKER: Fox News Killed Stormy Daniels Story to Help Trump
Jane Mayer, New Yorker: Fox has long been a bane of liberals, but in the past two years many people who watch the network closely, including some Fox alumni, say that it has evolved into something that hasn't existed before in the United States.
That fall [of 2016], a FoxNews.com reporter had a story that put the network's journalistic integrity to the test. Diana Falzone, who often covered the entertainment industry, had obtained proof that Trump had engaged in a sexual relationship in 2006 with a pornographic film actress calling herself Stormy Daniels.
Falzone had also amassed e-mails between Daniels's attorney and Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, detailing a proposed cash settlement, accompanied by a nondisclosure agreement. Falzone had even seen the contract.
But Falzone's story didn't run -- it kept being passed off from one editor to the next.
After getting one noncommittal answer after another from her editors,
Falzone at last heard from [Ken] LaCorte, who was then the head of Fox News.
Falzone told colleagues that LaCorte said to her, "Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go."
Oh mmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... the ol fair and balanced strikes again!!!!
LOL... Anyone that thinks F*x Noise is a real news station probably needs help putting their pants on
