Fox News is so eager to promote anti-Obama/pro-gun conspiracy theories that it overlooked its own reporting in the process yesterday. Think Progress caught Megyn Kelly yesterday just "asking" her Republican guest, "Is the government buying up bullets to use against us?" Even though Fox itself had already debunked that likelihood.

Think Progress writes:

In its letter to lawmakers, the (Department of Homeland Security) explained that it regularly purchases ammunition in bulk to save money..." That letter came a month after DHS offered a detailed justification of its purchase to (Republican Senator Tom) Coburn in February, who later claimed that he was satisfied with the reply.

As (Charles) Krauthammer explained to Fox News viewers on March 22, “Senator Coburn who isn’t exactly a liberal said number one the amount of ammunition is less than in previous years. Number two, it’s about a tenth of the ceiling that the DHS has allowed,” he said, adding, that the ammunition is “being used for the training of agents like the border security agents who have to go to the range a lot and stay sharp.”

But why spoil a good conspiracy theory with the facts, even if they've already been reported on your own network?
