I know Sandy Hook is not Benghazi, but the media treatment of facts has been similar. Bombard the public with multiple levels and layers of misinformation, intentionally or otherwise, the effect is to obscure the actual events, and then pop the "official version". The differences are obvious: First, the administration couldn't bury Benghazi fast enough (no agenda to push there, just a pile of embarassing questions).

The Administration keeps digging in the Sandy Hook event for pathos to try to push an agenda, and because Sandy Hook has so filled airtime, it has helped push Benghazi and Fast and Furious past the back burner to the old and forgotten news category in the public mindset.

The take-away from this, however is the media tactic of blasting the public with a Chinese menu of variations on events, location, details, etc., and then finally pulling the sanitized version out of the hat to present a weary public as the official version of events.

If people are too confused they weary to the point where they will swallow the official version, regardless.

<>and then pop the “official version”.<>

How does the “official version” that they popped differ from the actual account of the shooting as played out LIVE on the police dispatch as published on the very day it happened, and the facts listed at wikipedia.
