Fox News Channel inaccurately reported that gunshots were fired at the DC Navy Yard Thursday morning before changing its reporting to no shots fired. The error occurred due to the network receiving an inaccurate email from the National Military Command Center that described an active shooting. Reporter James Rosen reported of the shooting based off the following alert from the National Military Command Center, which was labeled Sbu (Sensitive But Unclassified) at 8:01 a.m. Et Navy Yard: Reports of active shooter Subject: Navy Yard: Reports of active shooter (Sbu) (Sbu) The National Military Command Center confirmed reports of an active shooter at Navy.

Jon Stewart says Fox News’ coverage of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release shows that the network is like the opposite of a conscience. As Stewart showed on Monday's “Daily Show,” various Fox News personalities have suggested the former Pow might be a deserter, a traitor, a convert to Islam who wanted to wage jihad, and “flat-out anti-American.” Fox News Chief Washington correspondent James Rosen said Bergdahl was “in some respects a kind of modern-day Lee Harvey Oswald.” Also read: Jon Stewart Knocks Oliver North on Hostage Hypocrisy (Video) “In just a few days, this guy Bowe Bergdahl went from ‘guy who left base.

Attorney General Eric Holder's call Friday for Congress to enact press shield legislation and his issuance of new guidelines to more strictly limit probes that examine reporter phone records and emails has so far drawn muted reaction from media companies. Fox, one of two companies in the center of media furor over probes of reporters -- the Justice Dept. approved a search of Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails after he wrote about the North Korea nuclear program -- declined all comment on the new guidelines. The Associated Press, whose reporters...

As far as Bernie Goldberg is concerned, the White House has always had it out for Fox News, so it's not that hard to imagine that as the reason why the Department of Justice targeted Fox reporter James Rosen in a scandal that's now put Attorney General Eric Holder on the hot seat. Goldberg first took the media to task for not being on top of the big Washington scandals, and then argued that one underplayed fact of the Rosen case is that the Obama White House has "waged a war on Fox News" for the past four years.

Jon Stewart tonight used President Obama's big national security speech to go after the president and the Department of Justice for going after whistleblowers, journalists, hackers, potheads, et cetera, but not sending even one person involved in the financial crisis to prison. Stewart mocked the administration for targeting Fox News' James Rosen and giving people "unusually harsh punishments" disproportionate to their crimes.

Reporting on the Justice Department's investigation into Fox Hard News Reporter James Rosen's contact with a source, who allegedly leaked him classified information, has been decidedly one-sided. Everyone from Jake Tapper to The New York Times has posed the leak investigation as equivalent to, or worse than, the still-unfolding Associated Press leak investigation, with very little reporting on the details of Rosen's case. They are fascinating, and belie the portrait of an abusive, wide--ranging campaign of intimidation that the mainstream media has painted.
