.@Isikoff reports Fox editors think the anonymous source for its Seth Rich conspiracy theory article may not exist. Perhaps this is why, more than two years later, the network's "internal investigation" into that reporting hasn't been made public. news.yahoo.com/exclusive-the-… 
The entire FoxNews.com article that set off the network's May 2017 dive into the fever swamps was built around Malia Zimmerman's anonymous “federal investigator” from an unnamed agency, as I detailed mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/1…
More than two years after that report was published and eventually retracted, no one at Fox has been publicly disciplined and the person who edited the story was promoted. Recalls this quote from a senior Fox employee to @oliverdarcy:
Reminder: Not only was no one at Fox publicly disciplined over its Rich coverage, but the story's editor was promoted to managing editor of FoxNews.com, and Hannity's executive producer became vice president and editor-in-chief of Fox Digital mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/1…
Left, how Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade and network correspondent talked about the neighborhood Seth Rich was shot in to push the conspiracy theory.
