Fox News report regarding allegation of orbital fracture:
Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source | Fox News
"Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in the fracas, and was left dazed by the initial confrontation, the source said"
and from MSNBC
Two key details about Michael Brown's death are still unknown | MSNBC
"NBC News has confirmed that Wilson was treated at an area hospital after the altercation, but it is unclear how serious his injury or injuries were,"
and CNN
Source: Darren Wilson did not have a fractured eye socket - CNN.com Video
"A source tells CNN that officer Darren Wilson had a swollen face but did not have a fractured eye socket."
So your post that Fox called it a rumor while CNN and MSNBC ran with it as a fact does not seem to be entirely accurate. I will allow for the possibility that there were earlier reports than the ones I cite which may have differed.
