Associated Press Sues Fbi Over Fake News Story

The Associated Press filed a lawsuit (PDF) this morning, demanding the FBI hand over information about its use of fake news stories. The case stems from a 2007 incident regarding a bomb threat at a school. The FBI created a fake news story with an Associated Press byline, then e-mailed it to a suspect to plant malware on his computer. The AP sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI last year seeking documents related to the 2014 sting.
