Fox's Dana Perino Dares TV Weathermen To Ask Obama About Benghazi

CATHERINE THOMPSON – MAY 6, 2014, 9:06 AM EDT

What does the weather have to do with Benghazi? Dana Perino, co-host of Fox News' "The Five," challenged meteorologists on Monday to ask Obama the tough questions on the 2012 attacks in Libya.

"Tomorrow, President Obama is going to do interviews with meteorologists all across the country about a new climate change report," she said. "I hope they ask him about Benghazi."

"Like, the weatherman from Montana should ask him about Benghazi," she quipped. "That would be great. I dare you."

Determined to inject the Benghazi attacks into the national conversation, Fox News has at least twice in the past week said they would only cover White House press conferences if a reporter there asked about Benghazi.

should be asked at every turn by meterologists and others about the lies that led up to the Iraq war, and just how much money Dick Cheney made out of profiteering.

What was with all the torture?
Where are the WMD?
Any idea on the $23 Billion missing in Iraq?
Any idea on the money you all emptied from our Treasury?
Have you visited any Iraq War burn victims?
Got any news for us on that worst national security failure EVER?
What was with all the spying on 'Murkans?


Were you ever asked about the 60 foreign service workers who died during the Dick 'n Bush disaster era?

Do you need to ask a weatherman to know which way the wind blows?

How pathetic that Fox calls itself a news channel. They should be fined for lying about their stations intentions.
