15. Stopwatch analysis: 12'06" for Issa, 3'25" for Pickering

I rarely waste my time on these Sunday morning shows, but after hearing that Ambassador Pickering would be on, I was hopeful that he would be given a chance to debunk some of the "stuff" the GOP has been throwing against the wall. Alas, thanks to an either incompetent or biased host, that was not to be, as Pickering was barely allowed to get in any words at all. Here's my careful stopwatch analysis of time given to Issa vs. Pickering re #Benghazi - 12'06" for Issa, 3'25" for Pickering. This only includes time that they were being allowed to speak, mostly in answer to the (sometimes very lame) questions from David Gregory.

I agree with the OP that the MSM is probably hoping for more impeachment talk, and I also think they are willingly participating in damaging Hillary Clinton's 2016 prospects, so that it's more of a close race, which makes them much more $$$.
