“Reporting on newsworthy leaked material is a cornerstone of journalism. For Fox to argue otherwise is absurd and further dispels any pretense that they’re a news operation. Perhaps if I tell them that the footage came from a combination of WikiLeaks and Hunter Biden’s laptop, it will alleviate their concerns,” says Media Matters For America President Angelo Carusone in a statement responding to Fox News’s lame and kind of pathetic cease and desist letter over their Tucker leaks series.
Side note: One of the tragedies of the clickbait age is that with the ubiquity of “X ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Y OVER Z” bullshit headlines the actual snappy comebacks like this diamond get ignored by readers. We need not say that we strive to make sure National Zero is not the kind of site that churns out such “content” unless, well, X actually destroyed Y. We think this meets that standard.
