MEDIA BLACKOUT: ASIDE FROM FOX, SUNDAY NEWS HOSTS FAIL TO RAISE BENGHAZI

[Casino67]

Breitbart.com:

 

The mainstream media's silence on the Benghazi disaster reached deafening levels on Sunday, as hosts of four out of the five major news shows--with the exception of Fox News Sunday--failed to raise the issue. Only Bob Schieffer of CBS gave it serious consideration, and only after it was raised by Sen. John McCain.

When the Benghazi issue did surface, other than on Fox, it was invariably brought up by Republican guests, and then deflected by the hosts, who largely ignored new stories this week that implicated the White House in the decision not to intervene to save the life of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and other American staff.

Here is how the Sunday shows covered the issue:

NBC: Meet the Press with David Gregory

The Benghazi issue was not raised at all, save by panelist Carly Fiorina, who was interrupted by Gregory. He promised, "We'll get to that a little bit later," but did not return to the issue before the show's end. (The show was interrupted in some markets, in the final minute, with breaking news about Hurricane Sandy.)

Actually That is not quite true, RCP had Meet The DEpressed videos up earlier. For some reason they switched them out.

This is what I don't get.

 

The very fact that Fox is reporting these things is news in & of itself.

 

If CNN, NBC etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum think FOX's reports are false, inaccurate, misleading...... shouldn't they be reporting THAT??

 

IOW, why not jump at the chance to make Fox look foolish by discrediting their sources, calling them liars, accusing them of having a political agenda....?

 

You can only conclude that they know there's something THERE and they are willfully and purposely choosing not to report on it so as not to jeopardize their guy's chances in the election. Shameful.

This isn't the first time the msm has ignored a story Fox was reporting. ((Give me a minute and I'll try to think of an example.)) Sometimes I think they ignore a story because Fox is reporting on it.
