Is there a verifiable quote somewhere of him saying that?

If not, then you're the one blowing smoke (also known as lying).
Maybe she was smoking that wacky backy! Yep; I think it's the Ganja for sure.

shrug. We all know that Fox supports the (R)'s, just like NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN and ABC support the (D)'s.

Big deal, tell us something new!

This type of stuff is a net negative for the nation.

It means we have millions and millions of Americans who trust and believe these charlatans.

So for them Solyandra, Fast and Furious, the FortHood massacre, Benghazi, Black panther voter intimidation, massive voter fraud, and some other fake controversies I am forgetting, are all real controversies that the mainstream media aren't covering.

Only Fox, or Beck or whomever is willing to tell the truth.

When they say Mitt Rmoney didn't hit President Obama hard enough, this is the stuff they mean that he didn't bring up. When they say the mainstream media is favorable to the President, this are the stories they feel the President isn't being hounded.

The Republican party obsession with fake controversies is destroying the party.

It not so much that Republicans disagree with Democrats, its that conservatives are in this alternate reality, and they are forcing the Republican party to address these insane fake controversies.

Hardly-

The "respected journalist" (there is no such thing) argues that the deaths of contractors in Iraq is the equivilent of the deaths in Libya. Au contraire-

1. Both elements were in a combat zone and under threat

2. Only in Libya was there a request by a US ambassador for more protection, as he feared for his life

3. Only in Libya did the POTUS ignore the requests of the Ambassador

4. Only in Libya did the POTUS ignore the reccomendations of the Secretary of State to either reinforce or abandon the embassy

5. Only in Libya did the POTUS watch (live) as his fellow citizens were slaughtered

6. Only in Libya did the POTUS deny available military support to the ambassador and let him die

7. Only in Libya did the POTUS reject the advice of the Secretary of State to support the embassy


Only a liberal would not understand the difference between Libya and Iraq- that difference is gross dereliction of duty by the sitting POTUS. Hey- if you want to ignore the facts and cover for an incompetent, inept president, that is your right. Get used to it- you have another four years of mindlessly covering for an incompetent and inept president.

The focus of his comments were that no attention was given to the 100's of contractors killed in Iraq, the question is still unanswered. Substitute Iraq for Libya in most of your comments above, problem is there was never any investigation to the deaths of contractors in Iraq

In the minds of much of the public, contractors are mercenaries that profit off of war and probably deserve killing. That's one of the reasons so many contractors are used, because their deaths aren't seen as the same loss as a military person. DEA ops are almost entirely contractors. If they are killed or captured it doesn't bring the bad press a service member would.

Yeah, but they don't claim to be "fair and unbaised" either

Well, it looks like the truth will now come on in a Congressional Committee. I bet it will be like the IRS targeting conservative group investigation with the IRS head took the 5th.
