(14,746 posts)I think to a lot of their loyal viewers. You are right, they beat to death the chosen story of the day or month. Its either Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!!! or whatever else they can scrape up. The effect is not benign however. It is the "where there is smoke there is fire" principle. I think a lot of these viewers must think that if a major news network, "the most watched news network", is so concerned about a topic and a perceived wrong-doing from the President day after day after day after day...THEN SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG! Even if one thing is proven to have no legs anymore, another planted story is then bumped up to headline status. There is never even a 5 minute break from the constant pummeling with overlapping punches. It doesn't really matter how real or even how big the story is...it could be just to criticize the President actually taking a vacation!....the main thing it is a constant stream of diarrhea spewing from all their painted mouths.
