MSM would drown it out anyway... even if there was not another major story out there... they would invent one.

I suppose the Republicans are peeved that those girls had to go and be rescued and hog the news the day they wanted to air a witch hunt.

I was flipping channels and happened on _______. I told my husband I was going to listen for a while and see how many lies these people could tell in a few minutes. It was worse than I thought. They were still declaring that a movie was the cause of the terrorist attack. It would really be sad if this were the only channel we could get for the news. Do these people really think that anyone takes them seriously. They are a joke.

Some states really don't care what kind of garbage they send to represent them. It makes your state look bad when your representative attacks the truth to protect those you like that haven't told the truth. I guess if your welfare check is protected and safe, some of you are all right with it though.

Why, because they don't tell you what you want to hear?

It's simple supply and demand. Nobody sees Benghazi as this huge scandal except for hardcore Republicans.

And that is why it's not on much in the mainstream media.

It has not be truthfully reported on the mainstream media because it makes this administration look really bad.

I was watching The Five on Fox the day this thing happened. The most liberal person on that show (Bob) immediately said that the things he was seeing was not a demonstration because the weapons being used would not be used by demonstrators.

It;s yesterday's news. It is gone, forgotten and really not terribly disturbing anyway. The Republicans are trying to blow it out of proportion to smear Hillary Clinton in 16. Nothing to see here. Just sleazy Washington politics and the people know it. Let's see the House Republicans deal with the budget and other issues of importance with the same energy they are using to fan the flames of the dying embers of Benghazi.

"Beckel is a recovering alcoholic [6] and has spoken openly about his past addictions to drugs and alcohol, admitting in July 2011 on The Five: "I'm a recovering addict and cocaine was my drug of choice."

That's your source?
