Top High Tech Stocks To Watch Right Now

tags:PCTY,MSG,REC,EGY, An uncorroborated segment on "Fox & Friends" has sparked an international incident.

At issue: Whether Judge Andrew Napolitano's anonymous sources were right about former President Obama using the British to spy on President Trump.

Amid widespread disbelief and utter denials of the explosive charge, Napolitano "stands by his report," Fox News said Friday. But one of the network's top news anchors, Shep Smith, said "Fox News cannot confirm Judge Napolitano's commentary."

So was it a "report" or was it commentary? There's a big difference between news and commentary about the news. Fox's blurry lines are partly to blame for the current controversy.

On at least three occasions, Napolitano cited Fox News "sources," giving his claim the imprimatur of the network as a whole.

It's unclear if Fox's news division vetted his sources ahead of time.

Political anchor Bret Baier repeated Smith's point on Friday evening, saying "the Fox News division was never able to back up those claims." But the claims were reported on one of Fox's newscasts earlier in the week.
