CHRIS HAYES (HOST): That Brett Baier story, it went from zero to 1,000 then walked back, then basically back down to zero. And it was stunning to watch someone on that network essentially recant a story which is something I've never seen them do.

GABRIEL SHERMAN: Unprecedented. This whole cycle has been unprecedented. But we should point out, that from my reporting inside Fox News that report created a big problem because Bret is not -- he's an anchor, he's not a reporter. And he's going on air to bring new information to Fox viewers and there was really a journalistic breakdown here. And I think there's a lot more questions to ask about how that report got on the air. And really, there was a whole series of meetings and that led to Bret Baier walking it back. So I think this really is a big problem for Fox because post-Ailes the network says “Listen, we're trying to move away from being Roger Ailes’ personal right-wing mega phone.” And then you have Bret Baier going on air and giving a discredited report.
