8 journalists who downplayed the Benghazi scandal
Red Alert Politics Blog ^ | 05-08-2013

As new facts are uncovered about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya last September, it’s become increasingly clear that many in the mainstream media really did cover up the severity of the attack during their initial reports, choosing instead to paint it as a overreaction by Washington Republicans.

The mainstream media does not report the news, it reports the administration's slant, as should be expected from propogandists!

There's never a shortage of moral and intellectual defectives who aren't merely willing, but glad to do tyranny's daily dirty work.

One of the great flaws in leftist so-called "thinking" is the assumption history is done. It's never done. Whether sooner or later, easily or with great difficulty, history will tell the truth.

I'm entirely sure of this: history will presently put leftism on the same shelf with George Wallace's segregation: a monstrous bad idea that was allowed to thrive far too long for no sane reason.

The MSM is a bunch of idiots being used to promote a socialists agenda which is the first and necessary step toward communism.

There’s got to be some new Journolist. It’s going to be hidden better this time, but you know it’s out there.

The "journalists" realize at this point they are "all in". When what they are doing goes south folks end up on meat hooks.

I am waiting for one of the RINOs to ask the question of the century: “When this attack started how could ANYONE on earth know how long it would last and know they could not respond in time?”

It is physically impossible for anyone in the abomination administration to answer this question without admitting they just said no with no knowledge of how long the entire attack would last.

If I do not hear this question, I know this is just more kabuki theater.
