A few reporters have stepped up, of course. Eli Lake at Newsweek has done a bang-up job, CNN has stuck with the story all week, Tapper had a solid report last night about who knew what and when. But perhaps we’re asking too much from the media generally; there are, after all, Romney gaffes to be covered. And if there’s one thing that America wants and needs from its media right now, it’s more navel-gazing horse-race election dreck.
There are so many unanswered questions, not just about Libya, but also about Cairo. Who is it that Rice thinks “widely disseminated” this “movie”? Surely she can’t believe that the Egyptian Coptic Christian who made the video had the capacity or even desire to put it in the hands of the people who did the inciting. Also, has the administration noticed that the mob in Cairo, so spontaneously upset about the video, just happened to be carrying an Islamist flag to hoist over our embassy? On 9/11. What a massive coincidence.
Also, where did Rice get her very detailed information about the attack in Libya? She referred to the attackers as “a small handful of heavily armed mobsters” who merely took advantage of a growing protest over the video, a protest that now appears never to have occurred, as was reported three days before her appearances. The administration is careful to point out that Rice couched everything she said as being the best assessment at the time. Fine. But where did that assessment come from and how could it have been so wrong, especially when all signs pointed to a terrorist attack?
We know now that before the attacks on 9/11 that killed 3,000 Americans, more attention should have been paid to attacks against the U.S. overseas. These were warnings of what was to come. They say curiosity killed the cat. In this case, lack of curiosity on the part of the American media very well may kill more Americans.
Excuse me but this is really small potatoes in a country where the military attacked Iraq, based on a complete lie, destabilized the entire region, but arch enemy Iran in the drivers seat, killed thousands of America's finest, spent a trillion dollars the country did not have and killed a million or so Iraqis.

Exactly what I said. US foreign policy in the Middle East involves bomb strikes on Arab natives, in their own countries, which enrages the citizens of that county.
That's the causation. And you support that.
So look in the mirror if you are concerned about "Americans getting killed".
Yeah, sure, you bet'cha. After we fought to protect the lives of Muslims in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Bosnia, and Mogadishu, we were struck on 9/11 and 3,000 Americans died. Don't lie to us, we know better. Islamists just kill anyone that they choose to vilify on that day. They kill Christians, Jews, and fellow Muslims. so take you ignorance some place else. BTW, you have joined one of only two people on my ignore list. I only ignore the most ignorant, the most vile, cheers.

LOL, good luke with that, the liberal lame stream media is in the tank for Obama. There are a few honest ones out there like Kristian Powers, but the majority of them are just a bunch of mindless drones.
yep, Kirsten has awoken from her sleep, and is now asking for answers, and demanding nothing less then the truth. I seriously doubt thatliberal woman will be voting for 0bama this time around.
Nah, the majority of liberals women are still worried about getting their free birth control. They'll be voting for Obama.
Too many are more swayed by how those in the entertainment industry tell them they should vote. They refuse to think for themselves.
Much of the media has also become more like the entertainment industry rather than true journalists, harping on non-news and mostly ignoring real news, mostly for the benefit of Obama.
This is all reflected in Obama's lead in the polls despite catastrophes like Libya, the horrible GDP number, high unemployment, etc.

Obama's incompetence will kill Americans. He seems to blow off intelligence briefings and meeting with world leaders in favor of appearing on "Letterman" and "The View".
If Iran gets nukes, this idiot could end up getting us all killed.

Tapper is probably the best Big three channel reporters out now. I follow him on Twitter.
The question I have not heard from ANY of the MSM is."Where did the info come from that said the killings and riots was a result of an obscure movie ?"
The Obama admin emphatically made that claim. It has now been debunked and admit it WAS an act of terrorism that was planned.
Why hasn't ANYONE from ABC, NBC, CBS, the newspapers, etc, asked that question?

Yes he seems to have not gotten the "never challenge what politicians say" memo.
