The New York Times ran 47 front page stories on Abu Ghraib
- including 32 days in a row on the front page,
only burying the 'story' when it was proven that the GI's involved did not act on orders.
BUSH's FAULT!

Contrast that with Benghazi.
1 time the story was on the front page (2 days later).
1 time the story was 'referred to', almost as a historical reference.
A FILM's Fault!

The TWO front pages which 'mention' something about Libya... the first one appearing two days after the US Ambassador
was anally raped, butchered and dragged through the streets - the second just over a week later.

Abu Ghraib Prison 'abuse'

47 Times on the front page of the New York Times.
32 Days in a row.
Nobody killed.
Panties on a terrorist's head.
BUSH'S FAULT.
Solution: Get rid of BUSH!

-------------------------------

Benghazi, Libya Foreign Policy Failure/Disaster

4 butchered.
US Ambassador raped, killed, dragged through streets and photographed bloodied, beaten and very dead.
Obama was warned 3 days ahead and did nothing.
Obama/Clinton sent him without marines nor armed guards
Obama/Clinton immediately apologized to terrorists.
Not Obama/Clinton's fault - a FILM is responsible.
Solution: Kill the First Amendment of the Constitution and arrest the film-maker.

Now it's time for the...

Whitewash!

The New York Times has decided that this is not a story.
After all, this could hurt Obama's re-election chances... this is precisely what happened to Carter.

Obama is refusing to answer questions, the State Department will whitewash it as much as possible.
The complicit media will make sure that this story goes away very quickly.
As far as the New York Times goes, it already has been buried.

[Not on Front Page!]

Benghazi was front page news once, and a historical reference on the front page once.

To tell another story, simply do an image search of the New York times for the images that they chose to run with each story.

Abu Ghraib:
Abu Ghraib images in the New York Times

Benghazi
Benghazi images in the New York Times

-------------------------------------------------------
The story told by the images makes Abu Ghraib look far worse...
They published the very worst they could get their hands on.
The images for Benghazi are totally sanitized and do not show anything that bad.

The cover image that accompanied the Benghazi story shows a solemn Obama and Hillary. (see the covers above)

Never in my life, not once, not ever, have I looked to the Nyet to find out the truth about anything. Ever.

Really? When I see a shooting or other "breaking news" event, I usually jump right o FreeRepublic to get the real story.

I find that Freepers are so far ahead of the media on reporting accurately, that I hardly even bother listening to the "talking heads" on the TV, except to witness the spin they attempt to put o it.
