I understand that security might be breached in te affairs and with the news coming out we might know sooner than later but to me the main stream media is sick to defend a President in his bid for another 4 years by not covering the Bengazi mess more.

Most Dem. who voted for Obama know more about that they want the birth control pill for free than they know about the mess and death of 4 hero's.

It was under Carter that an ambassador died and now under Obama the same happened but ofcourse that isn't news to MSNBC and CNN as much as women who want to get the pill for free and te war on women!

I'm not sure where it is going with this country that is still the greatest on earth but for how much longer if 109% in one town/city voted for Obama!

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were not covered 24/7 and we lost thousands of soldiers there.

A High Government Official Having an Affair with a Young Woman is a Big Deal Now?

How sick is the mainstream media if an affair of a General is bigger news than 4 death American hero's?-scandal.jpg

I'm genuinely shocked that this is the lead story in NY Times and WaPo. I mean these papers aren't exactly vanguards for moral behavior. Libs have spent the last 50 years systematically destroying this country's moral values that for them to make a big deal about something as old fashioned as a old powerful man banging young women is weird.

Its the director of the CIA, and a four star general.

My question is, when they discovered there was no illegal activity, why wasn't this dropped?

I read on another thread on city-data that at least one news agency gets paid by governments all over the world not to report certain things. A former employee blew the whistle on them. I knew this organization is so biased in America that I no longer consider them a reliable source, but one wonders if they are not breaking at least some laws.

Our congress has been sleeping while corruption is becoming the rule. We need some honest people who have a little backbone in our congress and on news guard. I am so tired of people on here putting down the one news agency that has stayed on top of this story. Guess some people would rather have their handouts than live in a respectable society.

Too many people are concerned about who and what government can put in their pocket. Other than that, there isn't too much for them to think about. The only thing that would change their thinking would be if government announced that it would no longer be giving away stamps, "paid in full" receipts and phones.

Ike Eisenhower, Republican president and former 5 star general, had an affair with his "driver" for many years and that was back in the 1940s and 1950s. But please feel free to continue your delusion that the Democratic Party is "systematically destroying this country's moral values." Why is it acceptable to you to look the other way when the big guys cheat which is what you are suggesting should be done now with Petraeous and Allen...sames as they did with Eisenhower back in his day.

Because only people who watch Fox News believe that the President is directly responsible for the terrorist attack in Benghazi, that he "sat by while people died". This is a lie propagated and peddled by Fox to try to sway the election. It didn't work, and now you still don't understand why there isn't more outrage because you live in a bubble of BS.
