In all fairness, Jennifer Griffin of FOX appears to have found some on-the-ground witnesses in Benghazi with firsthand knowledge.
A news organization needs to verify info before running with it. There’s probably a scramble right now to do just that, because this is a huge story. Were I a news director (and I DO have experience in the industry), I would insist on verification before airing the story, and verifying sources may take time.
No news organization wants to name a competitor that scooped them as their source.
Kudos to FOX.
If you think they wouldnt have run with this story against any republican then you are deluded.
