Bret Baier lit the conservative world on fire with his reporting from his sources inside the FBI, but he’s apologizing for incorrectly reporting one story today.
From the Business Insider:
Fox News anchor Bret Baier apologized Friday for reporting earlier this week that FBI investigators were moving toward a “likely indictment” in their investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
“I explained a couple of times yesterday the phrasing of one of my answers to Brit Hume on Wednesday night, saying it was inartful the way I answered the last question about whether the investigations would continue after the election,” Baier said. “And I answered that, ‘Yes, our sources said it would. They would continue to likely an indictment.’”
Baier continued: “That just wasn’t inartful, it was a mistake, and for that I’m sorry.”
This doesn’t mean his other scoops were wrong, just that they are not close to indictment yet. He has not walked back that they found new, non-duplicate emails in the “Weiner device.” At least he’s honest to say so – we’ve caught many a journalist who lies and just ignores the criticism.
