Congressional Black Caucus Chair: Fox News Is Holding White House "Hostage"



Rep. Barbara Lee (D), Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus: "When you look at how, not only Fox, but other media outlets — but we focus naturally, because we know how this has evolved with Fox — how many including, sometimes, our government is held hostage, mind you, by the fact that Fox and other media may run wild with snippets and misinformation and create a media frenzy based on half-truths, no-truths. They can create what we just saw happen."
