So I bought a bottle of scotch from the store and put in my bicycle basket...


I decided that I would drink the scotch before cycling back home because the bottle might break.

 It turned out to be a very good decision because I fell multiple times on my way home

Podcast: That's a Rich conspiracy theory


Yahoo News is out with a new investigative look at the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich.

Yahoo News has launched a podcast about the unsolved murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who died three years ago. But it does more than delve into the murder. It slams Fox News, questioning the network’s credibility and detailing how it fueled damaging and politically biased conspiracy theories.
They are charges Fox News still has not answered.
“Conspiracyland” is a six-part series based on a year-long investigation. The first two episodes are available and the other parts will be released weekly starting Tuesday. Yahoo News’ chief investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff is the host.
The series, which includes new details and exclusive interviews, looks into murder of Rich, whom police believe was the victim of a botched robbery. But the podcast also looks into how unfounded conspiracy theories that Rich was assassinated in retaliation for leaking DNC emails to WikiLeaks were used for financial gain, publicity and political purposes.
In a story for Yahoo News, Isikoff recalls that Fox News’ website posted a story in May of 2017 that claimed an FBI forensic report had discovered evidence on Rich’s laptop that he had been in communication with WikiLeaks before his death. Fox News’ Sean Hannity went on his show and called the report “explosive” and said it “might expose the single biggest fraud, lies, perpetrated on the American people by the media and the Democrats in our history.”
But Deborah Sines, the former assistant U.S. attorney in charge of the Rich case before she retired, told Yahoo News that the Fox News story was a “complete fabrication,” saying there was no link between Rich and WikiLeaks. In fact, Fox News retracted the story a week after it was posted and said in a statement that it “was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting.”
Fox News executives had doubts that one of the sources for the story, an anonymous “federal investigator,” was who he said he was, Yahoo News reported. Actually, according to Yahoo News, Fox News wasn’t sure the source even existed.
According to Yahoo News, Fox News announced it was conducting an internal investigation on how the story ended up on its website, but the results of that investigation have never been disclosed.
Fox News has declined comment, saying it can’t because of ongoing litigation with the Rich family.
