President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

Nah, while the major outlets are definitely propaganda outlets to varying degrees Fox has consistently pushed more FUD than any other network. Fox viewers are the least informed of all news network viewers.
Equivocating does not fit here, and of course Fox viewers would say the same because they are ignorant and fed a steady diet of lies. In this case Fox IS worse than the others by a wide margin.
There simply is no comparison between the cult beliefs of Fox viewers and more liberal viewers. They both get lies and propaganda to varying degrees, but Fox people are much more prone to emotional beliefs that can not be swayed by facts. Facts are just fake news these days when they don't conform to the crazy GOP world view.

Don't be blinded by partisanship. When the truth actually serves the GOP agenda they'll certainly make use of it, and they have been. I'm certainly not asking you to take my word for it - just dig down to the bottom of one small section of this Trump/Russia stuff... hell, even stick to mainstream sources! Just get past the headlines, and find the actual meat in the last few paragraphs. You might be (unpleasantly) surprised.
