Just like Obama's Fast and Furious high power weapon supplying to the Mexican cartels, the media will seriously downplay anything that makes Obama and Hillary look like the incompetent fools they are.

Don't forget gun control, the economy, Obamacare, the sliding of the dollar and increase in spending, etc.

MOST important to media is advertising sales. So, which story would you, as a news consumer, read?

You should probably google F&F before speaking about it.

I posted this yesterday, but the Manti Te'o episode is a perfect example of how the media handles Obama. When the media likes someone they will defy all common sense to keep the positive narrative going. A couple of journalists did try to verify the girlfriend story, but even when they couldn't find an obiturary, info about her at Stanford, etc., they ingored the warning signs and continued to report the story. If a snark blog (Deadspin) hadn't discovered the truth, it would have never been known.
They do the same thing with Obama. It doesn't matter what they have to ignore, they will do it to keep the positive narrative going. And if a blog website turns up evidence that goes against their positive spin du jour, they just yell "Racist" or "Right Wing Nutjob!" and continue to report their positive spin.

Te'o should have explained the girlfriend was a "composite." That worked for Obama and his fake girlfriend.

I have -- and even the Mexican government has gone silent on Fast and Furious. At first it pretended to be offended but now they've got Obama catering to their demands for a massive immigration deal so they can keep sending their most impoverished types over and prevent social unrest there. They've got Obama right where they want him -- he really messed up with Fast and Furious -- but you won't see much in the media about it.

It is called a news.

Is there something new to report on Benghazi?

For example, today's story is 7 dead in Algeria.
