Title: Fox News Quiet After Congressional Report Finds No Benghazi Scandal
Post by: 240 is Back on August 06, 2014, 09:49:15 PM
People should understand - they're a network, they exist to keep viewers happy and engaged and watching.   it's not their JOB to report news their viewers won't like.  Yes, this shits all over their biggest talking point.  No, they have ZERO obligation to report on it.  Left-wing sites all up in arms, but really, they're an entertainment channel, just like CNN or whatever, with a news flavor. 



Fox News has gone silent on Benghazi amid reports that the House Intelligence Committee concluded that there was no intentional wrongdoing in the Obama administration's response to the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported on August 1 that the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee voted to declassify findings from its investigation into the 2012 attacks on U.S diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, and "concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack," according to committee member Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA).

The intelligence community "did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened," the process used to create administration talking points was "flawed" but "reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis, and "there was no 'stand-down order' given to American personnel," Ranking Member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-CA) said in a statement laying out the committee's findings.

they should be rooting for the other committees working on the same thing; hoping at least one of them will come out with some dirt.

As I have said before, whatever was going in Benghazi, both reps and dems knew what that "whatever" was. Dog and pony show, neither want the real story to come out, because they will all look like assholes.

Why would Fox news spend time talking about leaked "details" from a democrat that appeared in the SF newspaper?   It's not THEIR reporting....

Let's see what the final report says...beyond the parsed wording of leaks from a democrat who could be trying to do a little damage control

240 is like a basketball player on a team that just made a 3-pointer to win the game, who goes up to the refs and points out that his teammate's foot was actually on the line..and upon review,  his team loses the game. Then when his teammates get pissed at him he says 'whoa guys, im on your team, i wanted us to win the whole time, honest!!'

That sums up 240 on the politics boards. Claims to support most republican issues then undermines them every chance he gets :D

Actually 240 is the master of sarcasm. You know what sarcasm is?  It's the ability to smile while insulting idiots to their face.  Look at that big 'ol smile he is giving you.

The Dems have been crying about impeachment for weeks now....nobody in power on the Repub side has seriously motioned to do so. The leftist wackjobs actually brought a bill before congress to do so on Bush. We hear phony scandal, phony scandal from the dems on everything. Benghazi was fucking disaster that they tried to cover up. The VA....the IRS...hmm they destroyed the computers...and Lerner hates conservatives. Yup nothing to see. You libs voted for the biggest piece of shit to ever seriously run for president. He has divided the country and now...now the rest of the world is on fire because we have retreated from our responsibilities abroad. Things here and abroad are worse then they have ever been.

And then because the Government issues a report favorable to the Libs..that's it? These people are all morons. On one hand you mock the government and especially conservatives as being naïve to the ways of the world....laughable...but you do...and then on the other hand because you got news that Bengazi was overblown, that's the final word? Um...people died because the government didn't do their job. Because they didn't intend to fuck up...doesn't make it ok. In liberal fuzzy bunny land that you idiots live in, maybe its ok...personal accountability isn't high on your groups' priority list.

Its pretty much to the point where you cant even debate with them anymore. The ideological divide is too big. Anything involving borders being invaded, americans being killed, our nation being threatened or hurt by their policies,  they just laugh and mock.

I think repubs have a responsibility to at least look at impeachment.  

I mean, obama's actions are illegal enough to "sue" him over, but congressional repubs won't impeach, won't even look at it.  

Why?   Not because they don't think he's guilty of major crimes, but because they think they'll win more seats with a criminal in office.

Well, IMO, every crime obama commits now, every bullshit exec order, everything he does to embarrass our country and destroy our economy - - - well, they endorsed it because they felt his damage to america was worth future possible election wins.  They sold out by just ignoring his past and FUTURE crimes.

It's worse than that.  You get labeled as a racist, xenophobe, homophobe, etc., etc. when you have a different viewpoint.

liberals realized the importance of gitmo on Jan 21, 2009.

Just as repubs realized how unjust the war in Iraq was.  On Jan 21, 2009.

Just as Repubs realized it was purely evil to keep border closed to friendly, happy peaceful illegal immigrants.  On Jan 21, 2009.

Too much of this is politically motivated.  All those limp-diick people that were willing to KICK OUT illegals for 20 years... suddenly they're all "well, I guess I"m okay with it, I heard a really compelling argument on Hannity today..."   Or they were accusing obama of crimes since F&F, etc.  Suddenly they're all "Rush made some great points about trading justice for this commie socialist criminal, if it means nate Silver's prediction we'll gain 3 seats in the House will pan out!"

Old school repubs would be picking out what size orange prison suit that skinny twink obama should be wearing.
New school repubs are okay with 30 more months of obama exec orders because some bald dude on FOX news said so.  

WTF?  I coudl care less about shifting political stuff, until some half c0ck punk calls me a liberal... then tells us amnesty is okay and impeachment is off the table, because FOX news had some great points today.  That makes me sick.  "240 lib, 240 lib" because I like to argue, but you all know, i've screamed impeachment for a year (or longer) and I'm supported breaking legs of those crossing border.  But hey, it feels good to adopt liberal positions with hannity's okay, so you have fun with that.  Argh I need coffee lol.  morning meltdown :)
