help! fox news going crazy about benghazi attack ~ 'requested help three times!' [View all]

at work on friday fox news was on, pounding away all day long about the 'scandal' in which those killed had requested help three times... the talking heads and anchors visibly outraged!
those killed in benghazi were left to die,
obama covering up,
etc.
my right wing co-workers eating it up.

so, i see the story on media matters about this fake outrage:

and wonder if you can point me to any other background to understand this issue. believe me, they are making it look as awful as they can. fake or not?

thanks,
