Fox News reporter now says his FBI story was a "mistake", stands by report
#1
Did you follow that? Me neither.

Baier told Fox News’ Jon Scott in the Friday broadcast of “Happening Now.”

"Which brings me to this: I explained a couple of times yesterday the phrasing of one of my answers to [Fox News host] Brit Hume on Wednesday night, saying it was inartful the way I answered [a] question about whether the investigations would continue after the election. And I answered that, yes, our sources said it would, they would continue to likely an indictment. Well that wasn't just inartful. It was a mistake. And for that, I’m sorry.”

Baier apologized for the use of the word “indictment,” but said he and the network stand by their reporting.

Got that? The FBI indictment story was a mistake (read: total BS), and he apologizes, but he stands by the story. As does Fox News....but no legitimate networks:

Baier’s reporting, in which he said that an indictment is ‘likely,’ was refuted by ABC News, NBC News, CNN and other news outlets, although the reporting was picked up and repeated in conservative media. The Clinton campaign called the Fox News reports “baseless.”

I dunna think he knows what "stands by the story" means.
