Hillary's email half truth: Media shows true colors for not calling out falsehood
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Benjamin Franklin once said that a "half truth is often a great lie." It turns out that the same can be said about "technical" truths.
Franklin’s warning came to mind recently after Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post looked at the claim of Hillary Clinton on Twitter this week that "the fact is that I had zero emails that were classified." The Post declared Clinton "technically correct" in the claim despite the fact that it was actually false. Indeed, the Post appears to recognize that fact at the very end of its analysis.
A "technical" truth is wonderfully Clintonesque – captured in Bill's infamous defense during the Monica Lewinsky investigation that "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." The email scandal now depends on what the meaning of "were" was.

Hillary Clinton email controversy
American political controversy
During her tenure as United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton drew controversy by using a private email server for official public communications rather than using official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers. After a years-long FBI investigation, it was determined that Clinton's server did not contain any information or emails that were clearly marked classified.[1] Federal agencies did, however, retrospectively determine that 100 emails contained information that should have been deemed classified at the time they were sent, including 65 emails deemed "Secret" and 22 deemed "Top Secret". An additional 2,093 emails were retroactively designated confidential by the State Department.[2][3][4][5] "From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.
