Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reported that Fox News has independently verified Russian-backed cyber militias targeted US systems in an effort to interfere in the US election. Herridges report comes after weeks of Fox News denying the Russian government could have anything to do with the election hack.
After 17 intelligence agencies reported that the Russian government was involved with hacking political organizations emails, Fox News repeatedly attempted to cast doubt on the reports by calling the agencies political. Fox host Sean Hannity derided the CIAs conclusions as politically motivated fake news, and his colleague Tucker Carlson has repeatedly downplayed the possibility of Russia influencing the election and attacked anybody supporting the thesis. And Fox News contributor John Bolton even claimed that the ridiculous allegations of Russian interference could be a false flag.
Despite Foxs campaign to cast doubt on the possibility of the Russian government seeking to undermine American elections, a December 15 report from chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge said that Fox News has independently confirmed that Russian backed cyber-militias were targeting US systems and influential US persons in the summer of 2015, an operation which evolved into an effort to interfere in the US election
sanctioned by the highest levels of the Russian government. From the December 15 edition of Fox News The Kelly File:

We must all agree that that is a No No!
