When Attempts To Correct Fox’s Benghazi Hoax Amount To A Cover-Up
“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.
According to a recently published report, the report states In a new variation of what Politico’s Michael Hirsh deemed the “Benghazi-industrial complex,” Fox News is suggesting that the Obama administration’s strategy to push back against the network’s Benghazi misinformation amounts to a cover-up.
Writing in Politico Magazine, Hirsh highlighted what he called the “Benghazi-Industrial Complex,” the GOP’s tactic to use Benghazi conspiracy theories to make former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “so disgusted by the prospect of running that she’ll stay out of the race” for president in 2016. Hirsh explained how Fox News has led the way in this campaign, creating outlandish conspiracy theories such as the claim that “Hillary staged her concussion in 2012″ to avoid addressing Benghazi on the Sunday news shows. Hirsh continued:
Fox, in fact, has made Benghazi a permanent part of its programming, mentioning the word on no fewer than 1,101 programs in the past year, according to Nexis. The chyron “Benghazi” is almost as much of a permanent fixture on Fox as “Breaking News” is on CNN.
Fox News has worked from the beginning to spread misinformation about the attacks. In the days after the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, the network consistently distorted the Obama administration’s response, accusing the president of “covering-up for al Qaeda.” In one of the most egregious attacks on the president in the weeks following the attack, Fox pretended Obama called the “vicious murder of Americans … just a bump in the road.”
The network’s lies about Benghazi could — and did — fill novels, and its Benghazi hoax eventually led House Republicans to call a special select committee based the false information reported on Fox.
