20. all thanks to ignoring talk radio - benghazi was classic talk radio fake news

Apr 2017

and in this case it was piggybacked by putin

as soon as it happened they were all over it on every radio station in the country screaming it was a terrorist attack, the clearly provocative anti muslim video had nothing to do with it even though it was blamed for numerous protests around embassies, and when rice suggested it did the limbaughs and hannities and the local blowhards all screamed. they had all been talking about how clinton and obama had ordered embassy marines not to carry live ammo - basically inviting terrorism, and it took the head marines PR spokesman to publicly refute their lie. the airwaves were full of it for as long as it took, including blaming clinton for causing and enabling it personally.

and this kind of shit plaguing democracy and now getting trump in the white house - all because democrats and the left continue to ignore the right's biggest advantage - a true military style propaganda operation of 1200 coordinated radio stations - going on for 30 years
