'Kerry Air' Grounded Again, This Time In Vienna

[cheapdate]

19. You've completely misinterpreted my earlier comment,

which was an idle, underdeveloped criticism of the mass media and the deleterious effect of the 24-hour news cycle and the insatiable frenzy of fact-free speculation that typically precedes any reasonable period of fact finding or serious reflection, and that occurs with predictable frequency nowadays.

It wasn't about the AP article per se, or about purveyor's OP. It was my mind wandering from an innocuous story about secretary Kerry's flight delay, to the plausible, but hypothetical, media and political circus that easily springs from such events.

You are exactly correct that the REAL story is the foreign policy behind Kerry's travels. I couldn't agree more. The real story behind Benghazi is, or should be, about U.S. foreign policy objectives in Libya and the rest of the region. That's an important discussion, but one that almost never comes up in the endless media dissection of Susan Rice's remarks on the Sunday Talk shows.

I have no idea what you point is about Hillary. In the Maher thread, I made a short post saying that I thought she was nearly unbeatable if she runs. In other posts, I've defended her performance as secretary of state in detail. I've argued against the harshest critics of Hillary on DU until I'm tired of it.
