Remember when proof mattered? When good journalism was based on factual evidence, and not partisan speculation?
Anyone who has watched Fox’s coverage of Benghazi over the past 2 weeks has come away thinking, without doubt, that Obama lied, that troops were ordered to stand down, that there has been a massive coverup, and that this is a scandal on par with Watergate.
The fact is, there is no actual proof of any of that. The # of innuendo-inducing “journalistic questions” posed by Fox has sunk in as fact. “Is Obama lying?...Why would he order troops to stand down?” These eventually become statements, that are repeated again & again by literally millions of Fox minions. Within a short timeframe, they are fact, and established history.
Just today, a senior intelligence official countered the Fox report that there were orders to “stand down” (a report that took up most of Fox’s front page last week, with the largest, boldest font they have), and said that no such orders were ever given.
An investigation needs to be done. But until that investigation, there is no “there” there. There is nothing but unfounded accusations from a “news” network that is in full campaign mode.
