Greta Van Susteren was agog over the breaking news that amounted to a bunch of emails showing that the White House knew that a terror group had claimed responsibility for the attacks on Benghazi. Of course, claimed responsibility is not the same thing as actually being responsible but in her excitement to finger the Obama administration as having engaged in some kind of nefarious cover up, Van Susteren didnt bother with that pesky detail. Instead, she actually blamed the Obama administration for any of her own networks reporting mistakes.
jaw dropper:
Look, hes the one whos not putting hes the one whos creating this vacuum. Hes the one who has the information who could tell us. Hes the one who can get on TV and tell us. Hes not. And so we may be getting it wrong but if were getting it wrong, its his fault.
She even reiterated this ridiculousness:
If we have it wrong, you know, if were taking the wrong assumptions from the written word that we have, I blame the administration because theyre the ones that had the information. Theyre the ones who represent the American people and theyre the ones who created this problem for themselves.

(30,674 posts)don't blame them for not fact checking, editing, checking sources, doing research, you know, reporting. They do nothing but parrot their Republican masters, of course they do the same for the "opposition" Right? That's the job of a network correspondent. According to Tim Russert.
