I'd suggest if the rest of the media wants to avoid everyone in the damn country watching Fox, they should start doing some real reporting.

I think the facts about Benghazi haven't become fully clear because the investigation is not yet complete. What Faux is doing isn't reporting. It is sensationalizing a few tidbits in their efforts to damage Obama for Romney's sake.

I think the facts never would become clear if Fox hadn't run with the story.

Again, Faux hasn't run a story, much less one based upon facts. It's about tidbits of factoids devoid of context mixed with lots of innuendo and accusations.

Yes, the onion is peeling back a little at a time. The admin has obviously decided that's less damaging than stating the facts.

Ah yes, some people say, my next favorite youtube to Beck and his vapo-rub one. That one cracks me up no matter how many times I watch it.

The other one I REALLY love is "Some would say...."

You know, nobody's actually saying it but, hell, they might say it.... after Faux plants the seed.

When did Faux start doing "real" reporting?

"Facts" become further distorted when Fox runs the story.
