Media Blackout: Why Obama Dodged the Libya Question
Big Journalism ^ | 10/27/12 | v

Posted on 10/27/2012 11:21:03 AM PDT by markomalley

President Obama ran into a buzzsaw yesterday while doing a round-robin of satellite interviews with local news outlets in crucial swing states -- and by "buzzsaw," I mean that rare form of species known as a "real reporter." Kyle Clark of Colorado's KUSA actually asked Obama about the latest revelations out of Libya. According to Fox News, the three requests for help made during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi were met with orders from U.S. officials to "stand down." Wisely, Obama dodged this question entirely.

I say "wisely" because, as of right now, outside of a very few exceptions, the CorruptMedia has coordinated with the White House to create a complete blackout around this story. Not even yesterday's denial from the CIA that indirectly implicates the White House garnered any media attention.

In the closing days of a reelection campaign the CorruptMedia is desperate to see Obama win, it's glaringly obvious that nothing this potentially damaging to the president will be allowed to see the light of day -- at least not until after November 6.

Brett Baer is on Fox news. Only Fox news is reporting on this. Even Drudge now seems to have abandoned it for now in favor of the “storm of the century” (that won't be anything mark my words).

The TRUTH will come out!

Obama pounded the table and declared:

“We will NOT inject American forces into another mid-East country and create the impression we’re involved in a civil war!”

From there, the team set about blaming a video trailer.

Wasn’t there some big hoppla in the news that the media went after George Bush for firing one of his generals that was in the news many years ago ?

A cancer is growing in the media. I hope to see citizen journalists pursue the “journalists” of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, asking them on camera why they are not covering the Benghazi cover-up.

The problem is, it's the entire MSM blacking out and ignoring this huge story, not just the Slimes.

This communist monster Obama ordered the military to stand down, so it Obama murdered those Americans. Obama has blood on its hands. The media instead covers this hurricane which won't do anything(even drudge and some freepers fall for this hurricane and they don't see the timing? wtf?).

The media keeps Romney quiet on this because the media so savagely attacked Romney the minute he said ANYTHING on it as “politicizing the deaths” . But i think Romney has to say something and we have to call our congress to tell them to run hearings now

>>> because impeachment and prosecution for TREASON are very real possibilities .....

I wish I were as optimistic as you.

People on the Right seldom show me the steely resolve, esp. Leftists lie and whine non-stop.

" The rest of the media also has a blackout on this "

The main stream media is " PAID " to not report any bad news that would hurt our Dear leader Gen. Mao Obama's chances of re-election.

Mao Zedong " Obama ? you didn't build that, Communist Propaganda... I built that "

That is a fantastic idea. Go all journal jihad on the journalist! Cell Phone Camera Video the supposed professional journalist and ask them WHY they refuse to report on one of the biggest cover ups by a President in history!

Half this story has turned into a COVER UP by the LOUSY MSM!

I think phase one is to strengthen the hand of the fanatics and have them control more governments in the middle east. Puts Israel in more danger and totally in check.

Europe will fall by demographics, city by city and country by country. This has been underway for years.

I think China and India will keep Islam in check in Asia. Africa is being overrun and I think it will continue.

The US will take longer, but he will weaken us every which way. If he doesn’t get elected we can reverse some of this. Europe will have to do their thing.

All that picture needs to be perfect is Big Bird under Obama’s arm.

Totally believable. Thank you.

I just don't see ANY of our MILITARY people swallow the repeated ‘stand down’ orders and watch their people being cut down. Live feed, too.

The only curious/suspect thing is the timing. More than 40 days after Benghazi attack, Obama announced Gen. Ham being replaced now. Until the Jennifer Griffin's story broke.

Will keep this in mind.

Wow! If this is true we are worse off than I thought and I knew we were in real trouble. Seems the bad guys have a lot of bases covered. We really need Gen. Ham to speak out. Pray that God will guide his heart and he will do the right thing and that God will keep him safe. We need to know that we have some of the military on our side and that there are still patriots where we need them.

I saw that last night....What nobody is talking about is when Zero losses the election he’ll get off. I listened at 12N to an interview with Mr Woods and alone in my car found myself weeping. Nobody has the right to stop/stand-down fellow Americans aiding other troops. We never leave troops behind...EVER

Bob Woodward also said we have to thank the looters because they were the guys he found the bodies and took them to the hospital around 12m. Boy is that sick.
