I wrote about how right-wing media, led by Fox News, obsessed over FBI text message story; hours later, it was debunked money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/med…
I asked Fox News if their reporter even reached out to Obama's office for comment.
Spokeswoman Carly Shanahan declined to answer, choosing instead to email back, "It's clear you're getting your talking points from a partisan analysis by Think Progress."

People familiar with the matter disputed assertion the Strzok/Page text referenced Clinton probe. One former Obama official told me it was "total nonsense." These people said it actually referenced Obama wanting to be briefed on Russian election meddling. money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/med… 
Worth noting this is the second time in recent weeks that Sen. Johnson and Fox News have hyped a misleading story based on out-of-context text messages from Strzok/Page money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/med… 
Hannity is still hyping this story in his opening monologue tonight, even after he notes Murdoch-owned WSJ basically debunked it 
Fox News has published a new story on this (fxn.ws/2nJZUiC) while moving the old story (fxn.ws/2nMSBXN) off its front page. New story backs off Clinton probe a bit, but still implies it. Still no correction in Fox's original story.
