Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton Wednesday night she was “infuriated” during Sen. Rand Paul’s questioning of Sec. Hillary Clinton and even left the hearing room. “When I heard him say those words, I walked out of the hearing room, and listened to him from behind the stage, because I was so infuriated at what that man said,” Ms Boxer said. Mr Paul said it was “inexcusable” for the State Department to ignore the Benghazi cables. “Had I been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post,” he said during Wednesday’s hearing. “To suggest that she’s retiring from this post after traveling a million miles and being one of the greatest secretaries of state because of Benghazi is unbelievable,” Ms Boxer retorted on MSNBC. “To speak to Sec. Clinton that way, it says more about him than it does about her.” Boxer insisted Clinton “took full responsibility” for what happened in Benghazi and that Republicans are just simply playing politics.

I only watch Greta on FNC. She’s the only one I can stand anymore with regard to the news folks. At least she’s not screaming and talking over people all the time.
My main source of info is FR as well. I also like the Center for Western Journalism. Check it out.
I look at as many sources of “news” as I can. The most believable statements are those that are against the interests of those who say them. If a democrat admits that a liberal idea is dumb, he/she is credible (same goes for conservative positions).
A great question (if I do say so myself) for journalists to ask guests (to the extent guests appear on these “news” shows any more) would be: “What is the best argument AGAINST your position?” or “How would an honest opponent of your position try to refute it?” This is done by most “journalists” when they ask: “Some say that [blah blah blah your position is stupid blah blah blah. How do you respond?” when a conservative “guest” is on. This question is seldom asked of liberals, of course.
