With new revelations about the Obama administration’s role in the Benghazi terror attack unfolding moment by moment, one might assume that all media outlets great and small would be focused on this major story — especially given that Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty and an additional civil servant lost their lives despite the fact that there were three requests for assistance during the siege and were, in the end, told to “stand down.”
TheBlaze thought it might be prudent to review mainstream U.S. news outlets to see which stories are making their front pages. For TheBlaze, the debacle in Libya has been front and center. So, too, for FoxNews’ website and Jake Tapper’s blog on ABC (but not ABC’s “front page”). All other front pages of major news outlets have seemed to relegate the travesty in Libya and the administration’s botched handling of the terror attack to nothing but fine print. As you will see, “Frankenstorm” takes center stage.
Below are screenshots of these front page headlines taken Friday afternoon (October 26). In this instance, a screenshot is worth a thousand words:

Oct. 26, 2012 at 7:30pmTo those who think this is a non story…you disgust me. Four Americans are dead. What if it was your son, brother etc. You are cocky now but you WILL one day stand before your Maker and give an account as to your choice of a leader of our once upon a time Christian nation. A leader who advocates murder of babies. A leader who allowed 4 Americans to be killed and went to bed that night to get rest for his trip to Las Vegas. You vote for him, then you agree with his stance, and you are guilty. God help you on that day. Repent now and turn while you still have the time.

Oct. 27, 2012 at 12:52amAfter todays new revelations about our brave guys wanting to
help out in Libya, and being told to ‘stand down’, I purposely
watched our local CBS network (the ONLY one I get in this
part of northern MN) to see if they would have ANYTHING,
either on national or the local Minneapolis news, about the new info.
(Normally, I never watch the mainstream media, at all.)
NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. Their lead story – you guessed it,
the “storm”. And the local news just had local news, besides
the storm. I think it’s actually time for WE THE PEOPLE to
riot, to take to the streets, to do the same things other groups
have done in the past when things are in question,
I.E. Rodney King, O.J Simpson, etc., etc.
WE NEED TO QUIT LAYING DOWN OUT HERE!
Acts of TREASON should not be allowed to be
ignored by the media.

Oct. 26, 2012 at 4:27pmJust as I’ve been saying ever since the emails came out. This story is dead for the MSM. The email story was gone the very next day. (I did catch some grief for saying that on this website)
Even if there was a recording of BS/BO telling the terrorists to commence the attack and that he “had their back”, the MSM would not care. Why??????? because it is detrimental to their cause. What is their cause????? to assure that BS/BO is re-elected.
Only your US Senators can do anything about this scandal and cover-up.

Oct. 27, 2012 at 9:26amThe problem is twofold: a feckless Congress and a rampant bias that infests the Media. It is folly to put too much faith in either.
If one expects Congress to do anything meaningful regarding the Benghazi situation (or any other situation of consequence), one is damned to disappointment. For decades, they abandoned use of the Oversight Powers – powers spelled out in our Constitution and powers we entrusted to them. First, we became complacent – then we allowed them to. Time to clean House.
The relationship between politics and press is symbiotic. Politicians rely on press, and press relies on politicians. For each to survive, there is an need to just get along with the other. This relationship is resistant to change. If anything, it is likely to get worse. As such, and by default, the power to correct this illicit relationship falls back on our shoulders – “We the People”
If we want to repair the tactics of a complicit media, we must cancel all subscriptions to their entire product lines – Cancel all subscriptions & never ‘click’!
Most operate on a shoestring budget. They spend money faster than democrats. Sooner than you think, they will be forced to either clean up their acts or go the way of Newsweek. Time to take out the trash.
What they call news and force down our throats serves no useful purpose for conservatives. Worse, it infests the young and the ignorant.
As with everything in America, it is OUR job. That is why the Founders wrote “We the People

Oct. 26, 2012 at 4:50pmWow, what a fool you are. They ALL ran this story at one time. Oops……did see that one before you wasted your time, eh?
They just decided to bury the story behind less import things like ” Kim K’s love note to Kanye”
Now, let’s see if you have half a brain or less (and please stay focused, OK?).
Question: If Mitt Romney was found to blatantly lie about the Staples CEO divorce case from 20 years ago, and then try to cover it up by speading false stories about what actually happened, would that or would that not be a bigger story than this whole Benghazi mess where 4 Americans died at the hands of terrorists?
Obviously, from the president on down, they were blatantly lying about the video, and now are currently in the process of covering everything up. So, which is the bigger story? Lying about a 20 year old testimony, or lying about terrorist killing 4 Americans in Libya?
