don't make the mistake of thinking that, because fox is obsessed with benghazi and the republicans in the house are launching a probe, there is no real problem. that itself would just be a mirror image of fox's partisanship: you already know what happened, not in virtue of knowing anything about what happened, but because you hate fox news and love hillary clinton, which has absolutely nothing to do with the truth or falsity of any particular account of the events. it is a mess, and the initial and continuing response of the administration reeks of cover-up and raises many suspicions. the way they acted immediately after the event appears incomprehensible, and there has been nothing since that would justify anyone in thinking they are doing anything but obfuscating. lord knows why; if the events are anything like the admin is picturing them, all they had to do was say what actually happened and express regrets and reflections; this sucker would have been over.
i want to say that i like a partisan press in some ways, as long as there is also a less-partisan press. in a democratic administration, we need fox, and you should watch it. and of course in a republican admin we need msnbc. fox has raised many of the basic questions. the way they admin has released and failed to release the info is ridiculously suspicious. it's not only fox, as witness this devastating exchange between jon karl of abc and jay carney, pressing on the crap the admin has put out on the 'talking points'.
