Benghazi reporting is M.I.A. because it is stupid and a GOP fantasy, not because the librul media is covering for Obama

I say, "before we start this discussion, show me that you know where it is on a map, which I just happen to have right here". silence is wonderful.

It's on FOX News. Take a look at the sign, you don't see the FOX logo on it do you. Benghazi is on FOX and that's all they need or want to know.

The film Idiocracy has an introduction exactly explaining your "statement of fact".

It is a sad day when I recognize America has arrived and Idiocracy is a strong argument for eugenics.

Stop me when I get to a station that's even remotely "moderate", let alone "liberal" . . .

I don't even know where Benghazi is. Nevertheless, they've got a remarkably short memory if they think Benghazi is a bigger scandal than a pointless war that costed thousands of lives.
Apparently it's true that 2000-2008 never happened...

A poll showed that 41% of Republicans believe to Benghazi to be the biggest political scandal to ever occur in US history.

The same poll also shows that 39% of Republicans have no idea where Benghazi is.

I'm willing to bet that this 39% makes up the majority of this 41%. For those who are not so good at math, this means that roughly 95% of Republicans who think Benghazi is the biggest scandal to ever happen, have no idea where Benghazi is.

Not only to weaken Hillary, and Obama...

also to occupy and distract their base from news stories and news sources where they might actually be accurately informed,
and to control the news so they can crowd out useful or favorable news,
and, no doubt, someone is making money from the hype - political donations, etc.
and, of course, Republicans only know how to attack, criticize, and make war. This is what they do.

Scum bags they are.
