Actually, you are quite wrong. Fox News accurately portrayed the situation. LOL that is the true disinformation expert technique -- keep denying a statement of fact, despite the supporting facts, knowing that the average person will never verify the issue on their own. Matter of fact that's how FOX operates. Do you have a positino there? The bi-partisan Senate Committee reviewing the mis-use of intelligence states time after time that information was "misrepresented", or "overstated" or "not supported" or "not based directly on intelligence" (rather on layers of misleading, misrepresented or overstated other works), "not substantiated", "judgement based on no direct evidence"... Just read through all the conclusions and count the number of statements that contain "misrepresented", "overstated" etc, versus those which state "accurately stated". Overwhelmingly the report tilts to a picture showing that intel, and those responsible for feeding it to the administration, made inappropriate conclusions using, in a large part, information that was not confirmed, reliable, or relevant.
