Fox News Quiet After Congressional Report Finds No Benghazi Scandal
Just keep on praising FOX, Mr. and Mrs. Gee Old Pee.
From the
story:
FOX News has gone silent on Benghazi
amid reports that the House Intelligence Committee concluded that there was no
intentional wrongdoing in the Obama administration's response to the
2012 attacks in Benghazi , Libya .
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on August 1
that the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee voted to
declassify findings from its investigation into the 2012 attacks on U.S Diplomatic facilities in Benghazi , and
“concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration
in the 2012 attack.” Further, these key points are important:
1. “The intelligence community did not have specific
tactical warning of an attack before it happened.”
2. “The process used to create administration talking
points was flawed but reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the
days immediately following the crisis.”
3. “There was no stand-down order given to American
personnel.”
Why are those points important? FOX used them in carefully scripted,
clinical point-by-point talking points for nearly 2 years. Refutation now is
the operative word and FOX left the airwaves.
Further, FOX made no mention of the report on their Monday
shows per se. That is in sharp contrast to its current silence, when
House Speaker John Boehner announced the formation of a select committee to
investigate Benghazi in June, Fox devoted at
least 225 segments to the topic over just two weeks, an estimated publicity
value of more than $124 million.
Fox's sudden lack of interest in congressional
investigations into Benghazi comes
less then one week after Rep. Trey Gowdy, GOP picked to head up a select
committee, announced, in what Fox News billed as
an “exclusive interview” that he would hold more public hearings on the attacks
in September.
Oops...
