Does Fox News Source Its Reports from Facebook Memes?

Here's that Facebook meme again, with added clarification

A couple of days ago I wrote how a Facebook meme completely misrepresents the Nunes Memo in order to promulgate a false narrative about the Trump-Russia investigation, originally begun under then-FBI Director James Comey then carried on by Special Counsel Robert Mueller appointed after Comey was summarily fired for not dropping the investigation.

(I figure if Donald Trump reads this blog he'll stop at that first sentence since it's too complex.)

OK, now that we know Trump isn't reading this, ThinkProgress.org has a report that summarizes Fox News reporting on the Nunes Memo. The sub head is "Fox News is talking about an alternate reality memo that does not exist." I think it does exist. The "memo" Fox News is reporting on is the false Facebook meme I wrote about two days ago.

Why do I think this? Here are the Fox News talking points ThinkProgress highlights:

• The Steele dossier formed the basis for the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign - Points 1, 2, and 3 of the meme.
• The memo describes surveillance of the Trump campaign - Points 4 and 6.
• The FBI didn’t disclose any partisan motivations of the dossier - Point 5.
• The dossier undermines the legitimacy of the Mueller investigation - That's the whole point.

I think that's a pretty amazing correlation.
