My point is that this story was picked up by Fox news because it supports their strategy and is based off of a book that they can loosely dangle in front of the gullible . Most mainstream stories are picked up by multiple news sources while things like this are picked up by just a few...

My point isn't about "this administration" but stories that support book sales..

The point is that Fox news has repeatedly picked up stories (and proof) that other news services refuse to look into until Fox provides traction for them.

Gullible is for those that refuse to recognize the truth or the need to dig for the truth when it is staring them in the face. The mainstream is very good at doing exactly what this administration tells them to do.

So we close our eyes and ears when it is on FOX? So don't listen to the people who were there, that's kind of silly. Discount eye witnesses because it doesn't follow Obama's story. Kool Aid drinkers never want the other side told.

So many people on here drink the kool aid.

The bold description sounds more like the Associated Press than Fox News... Fox News is not known for this at all. They're known to have a bias that slants heavily to the right. The little bit of investigative journalism they do is solely done to support their overall agenda. Which is supporting the conservative platform... Tell all books like this usually don't focus on verifiable evidence but personal observations and opinions... If what these three guys are saying was verifiable the book wouldn't have had to drop before there was an investigation...

I hope he's just a bumbling fool that's in over his head because the alternative would be even harder to believe.

Can you admit Fox News is heavily slanted to the right?

There's a sucker born every minute...

That said, ratings don't substantiate credibility. It just means more people watch that channel then some of Fox's competitors stations.. There are several liberal leaning news Stations, while Fox is pretty mush alone in regards to right leaning stations...

All still silliness. This was a CIA operation from start to disastrous end. The withholding of support from the consulate is exactly how you would expect the CIA to react if it does not know precisely who is doing what. And that is a local on the site decision. The CIA has still not disclosed what they were doing there.

The most knowledgeable individual in the world was the Ambassador who chose to be there.

Rice's speech was pure spook speak. No one in their right mind would believe it. The CIA was covering up whatever it was they were doing there.

All this disclosure and a couple of bucks will get you a ride on the IRT.
