This takes control-freakism to a new level. "The news isn't covering what I want it to. Waaa...give me a hankie..."
I can understand it, if there's a major story to cover. The attacks of Sept 11th, 2001, for example, fundamentally changed both domestic and foreign policy of a major world power drastically, as well as killing thousands, and rearranging the skyline of our largest city, recorded on film. I don't expect 24-hour news to just shrug that off in the US - it's actually important, and fairly recent, even if it's not technically *new*. I can also understand it, if they're getting the story hugely wrong, as occurred during the Ferguson protests.
The attacks in Benghazi killed 4 Americans, including one ambassador, and that *is* sad, but nowhere as big as the 9/11 attacks*. But the footage is basically one dude in front of a fire pointing to his right with an assault rifle in his left hand. And any solemnity that it would have had was ruined when the entire right wing exploded in a series of investigations based on Alex Jones-style conspiracy theories, all of which were repeatedly disproven. At this point, the idiotic claims have far outshadowed the reality of what happened, so why bother?
And none of those other attacks aren't important to you? Why don't you care about Americans being killed?
I just told the guy I responded to not to play stupid and then you reply to me and play stupid. Good job there, urbanlife.
Nobody buys the crap you two are trying to shovel by completely ignoring the scandal part of Benghazi and trying to compare it to attacks that have completely and totally different contexts.
Sorry. His deflection failed, and you attempting to use the exact same deflection again also fails. Give it up. It's weak and transparent and it doesn't work.
It has nothing to do with obama. I'm sorry but this should all be about the twin towers, the pentagon and those amazingly brave people on that plane who basically committed suicide to protect all of us. They are heros. Someone is always trying to attack our embassies abroad but this is our land that they attacked. Almost 3000 people were killed and here you are complaining that there was very few news about the benghazi attack.
Thanks for the Up-date -- I don't watch much TV, too busy reading.
So ..... they just Cherry Pick which 9/11 Attacks and Deaths are "News Worthy" and Ambassador Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith and former US Navy Seals Glen Doherty & Tyrone Woods - just didn't make the MSNBC "cut" as being important.
WhoDaThunkit .... what a Classy bunch
It's being replayed on MSNBC at 11 PM ET.
I wonder which of the following most people associate with 9/11:
A multi- pronged terrorist attack on US soil, killing 3000 people vs an attack on a US " diplomatic mission" in a place most people could not locate on a map, that served unknown purposes , that killed 4 people.
You mean they don't have "the video that was responsible for the protest that turned into the spontaneous attack"?
I know that was the cause because the President told me so and his Secretary of State affirmed it.
As did the CIA, as we've long since learned - except for the part where anyone claimed a video was "responsible" for any protest or attack, which never happened.

Ah, so you care more about Benghazi than 9/11 and every other Embassy attack. Way to be a right winger.
