Bozell Statement: Liberal Media Are Accessories to Benghazi Cover-up

For the sixth night in a row, ABC World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News refused to give one single second of coverage to a Fox News report that the Obama Administration denied help to those attacked and killed by terrorists at the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11. According to a Media Research Center analysis, ABC, CBS, and NBC have failed to cover this devastating story - not to confirm it, not to knock it down, and never mind do their own investigation. The story broke last Friday, long before Hurricane Sandy swamped the news cycle. Further, neither The Washington Post nor The New York Times has committed a single inch of their newspapers to a news story about this report.

According to Fox News, “sources claim officers at the nearby CIA annex in Benghazi were twice told to stand down when they requested to help those at the consulate. They later ignored those orders. Fox News was also told that a subsequent request for back-up when the annex came under attack was denied as well.”

NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacts:

The liberal "news" media’s refusal to cover this story exposes how corrupt they have become. Four Americans died in Libya in a coordinated terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11. The Obama Administration has been caught in a maze of falsehoods. This reeks of a cover-up. This scandal could and would derail the Obama re-election efforts. ABC, CBS, NBC, The Washington Post, and the New York Times are so vested in the re-election of Barack Obama that they are deliberately spiking this huge story. It’s sickening.

How big is this story? Bigger than Watergate. No one was killed in that burglary, and no one covered up the truth about the deaths of four brave Americans.

Now there are rumblings that one or more of these so-called news networks have emails from the National Security Advisor’s office telling a counter-terrorism unit to stand down. If that’s true, they must tell the American people what they know, and how long they’ve known it. And if it isn’t true, then the networks need to say so. Their silence is deafening.

The Obama administration’s cover-up of their deceitful response to the Benghazi terrorist attack is without a doubt the biggest political news story of 2012. The American people have a right to know what really happened before they cast their ballots on Election Day.

If ABC, CBS, NBC, The Washington Post, and the New York Times refuse to ask the tough questions, then they no longer serve any purpose. And if they’re sitting on evidence to help Obama win re-election, they’re as guilty in this cover-up as is the administration.

MSM are just more enabling corruptocrats.

[annieokie]

they’re as guilty in this cover-up as is the administration."""".......

And should be held accountable.....brought to court........Yank their license to operate.

Charges: Witholding of evidence, accessory to the Coverup, Failure to Inform the American Voter before a Presidential Election, that Obama is suspect in Murder of 4 Americans in Benghazi, and conspiracy to Cover Up. That one is of the utmost National Security.

Question is: Can it be done?

[Fester Chugabrew]

Failure to Inform the American Voter before a Presidential Election

LOL. I don't think you'll find any laws against that.

[annieokie]

WELL TRY!!! lol

Make one up. We need a law. lol

[captnorb]

But you should find FCC license regulations service for public service.

[magooey]

What can be done? Maybe a very public boycott of the MSM giving clear reasons as we have just experienced in the Benghazi Embassy massacre.
