While “60 Minutes” has apologized for and admitted that its Benghazi report that used the supposed “eyewitness” account of British security officer Dylan Davies was a mistake, Fox News, which also used Davies’ account in its stories about the attack, says it is standing by its Benghazi coverage. “We stand by our reporting on Benghazi, and given what is still unknown, we anticipate further fact finding from those who know the truth about what took place on 9/11/12,” said Michael Clemente, executive vice president of news at Fox News.

To some in the news business, Fox News chief Roger Ailes looms large, viewed with a combination of fear, loathing, fascination and (at least in cable-news-ratings terms) envy. But when it comes to staffing Fnc and its sister cablenet, Fox Business Network (Fbn), a relationship with Ailes is often the secret ingredient.
Thursday (June 20), Fnc announced that it has hired longtime media reporter Howard Kurtz, who has anchored CNN's weekly media-criticism show "Reliable Sources" since 1998. He has also been the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for The Daily Beast and Newsweek.
Fox News also recently re-upped with right-wing political firebrand Sarah Palin, no fan of what she calls the "lamestream media." The former Alaska governor and 2008 Gop vice-presidential candidate made her reappearance on the network on Monday's "Fox & Friends."

A Fox News anchor abruptly ended an interview when the guest criticized the news network. Jon Scott was interviewing Thomas Ricks about his book, "The Generals" when Ricks accused Fox News of hyping up the recent attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.
According to the AP, Scott questioned Ricks as to why he would make such a claim when the attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Christopher Stevens - the first U.S. Ambassador assassinated in more than three decades.
Ricks asserted the incident amounted to a "small firefight" and said, "I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of the Republican Party."
At that point, Scott thanked Ricks and turned to his co-anchor, who then threw to a commercial break.

Fox News' Shep Smith was covering a live car chase outside a Phoenix, Arizona on his 3 p.m. show on Friday with things went horribly wrong. Smith was narrating the events of the high-speed chase as it happened. At one point, the carjacker stopped his car, got out, and the chase continued on foot.
Smith was still narrating when suddenly he stopped and yelled to his control room, "Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off it. Get off it. Get off it!" The network aired footage of the carjacker shooting himself in the head before abruptly cutting to a commercial.
When the show returned from the commercial, a somber Smith addressed his audience.
"While we were taking that car chase and showing it to you live, when the guy pulled over and got out of the vehicle, we went on delay. So that's why I didn't talk for about 10 seconds.

Fox News has been accused numerous times of having a hand in the Republican Party cookie jar when it comes to their reporting.
And while it's the home of conservative talk show hosts like Sean Hannity, the organization has always been able to defend itself by saying their talk shows are completely separate from their news reporting. Now, that defense may not be so easy to make.
Progressive media site, Media Matters, reports that Fox News' Washington managing editor, Bill Sammon, issued a memo banning its reporters from using the phrase "public option" last year amidst the heated health care reform debate.
Instead, he gave Fox reporters three apparently Republican pollster-approved alternatives to use instead. Check out the email below:
