Bias: Even here at DP

Fox does have the highest ratings - amongst cable news programs. I never saw anyone say that Fox's shows have higher ratings than the the networks.
Well then since both FN and MSM are biased, then maybe it's time for Fox to go NON cable. LOL, i dont think it would work though.

I'm not sure what purpose that would serve, or why they would consider doing it.
 
Look, you guys on the left can scream at the top of your lungs that this is a Right Wing concocted conspiracy, but it's not.

I'm going to try one last time to be rational with you people, and it's really simple. This isn't just about the attack, but the decisions that were made leading up to the attack, and the way the administration spun the facts after the attack, and how they are avoiding the real questions even now.

Let's beging with this: The consulate in Benghazi had been attacked 2 PRIOR TIMES before the 9/11 attack. So, a good question to ask Obama is "did you know that the consulate in Benghazi had sustained 2 prior attacks before the attack on 9/11?". Why is that question important? Because this wasn't just some "one time, spontaneous attack". The consulate had been attacked before, and all kinds of people were requesting additional security. Now, KNOWING that the consulate had already suffered 2 prior attacks, WHY WERE REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY DENIED? You liberals may think that is some kind of "partisan" question, but it's not. It's a relevant question, and an important one.

This isn't partisan politics here. This is a serious story, that the left keeps ignoring, and accusing Conservatives of just manufacturing. That's absurd. 4 people died. But liberals pretend that Obama and his entire administration didn't respond the way they did. You can't change what they said, and what they did.

The CIA is reporting they never turned down any requests for help. Ok, that's comforting to know. Now what about the Administration? Why are they refusing to answer questions about Obama's Oval Office meeting with Panetta and the Joint Chiefs? Why are there CIA agents stating they were told to "stand down"? Why has General Ham been replaced at AFRICOM? New reports indicate and prove that the CIA was informing State as early as 5 hours after the attack, that Anwar Al Sharia was responsible, so why did the administration spin the intel and blame the video for 14 consecutive days?

Why did the administration not meet with the counter terrorism units during or after the attacks? Why did they choose the FBI to conduct the investigation, and more importantly, why in the hell did it take 24 days to get the FBI on sight in Benghazi?

Did Obama know that England had removed their personel from Libya? Did he know the Red Cross had pulled out? Did he know that the English consulate had been attacked, and the Red Cross headquarters had been attacked? A question arises, "why did we still have people there", and at the very least, if we were going to leave people there, WHY IN THE HELL WEREN'T REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY GRANTED? After all, the English consulate had been attacked, the Red Cross had been attacked, and our own consulate had been attacked TWICE!

On top of that, the CIA released documents PROVING that they notified the White House, and State Dept, that Ansar al Sharia had the hospital where Stevens was taken, surrounded. So, it's proof that the administration KNEW who was responsible for the attack, and who had the hospital surrounded where Stevens was taken. What do liberals have to say for these things?

You guys just ignore the fact that VP Joe Biden said, "we didn't know ANYTHING", and "we werent told ANYTHING". You guys buy that? If so, you are simply IGNORING the facts.

This is a real story, and we deserve the transparency that Obama promised all of us in 08.....where's it at?

Very well stated. The Main stream media legitimacy as real journalists fails by epic proportions on this issue alone. It's a perfect example of how they protect the president. The preparation, attack, and cover up is much worse than Watergate and they ignore it. Watch and see the Bernsteins, Woodwards and "deep throats" come out after the election.. IF their Obama loses. Then they will no longer need to support him and will be competing for the next Pulitzer with Benghazi as there stepping stone.
 
There was no English consulate. At least get the actual facts in the conspiracy straight.
 
Fox and MSNBC are both biased. The difference is that liberals understand, and have no problem admitting that MSNBC is biased. Conservatives are simply living on a different planet.

I call BS.

There are many people on the right (myself included) who can easily admit the editorial content of Fox is HIGHLY biased.

And there are boneheads on the left who act like MSNBC and Moveon etc are "Fair and Balanced" to borrow a lie. :)

There was a PEW study just recently that concluded MSNBC somehow manages to be even more biased than Fox which is really really saying something. ;)
 
CIA officials which are generally pretty busy doing stuff released a timeline and that has refuted virtually every allegation made by the rightwing noise machine. There was not "stand down" call at the CIA annex. They went in to try and save the individuals in the consulate. The CIA security team in Tripoli quickely charted a plane and flew to Benghazi but got stuck at the airport.

The Pentagon would not send forces or aircraft without consent of the host country. Leon Panetta said the information coming in was too jumbled to risk US troops.

Within 25 mins the CIA annex team got to the consulate which was engulfed in heavey diesel smoke and flames and tried to get the staff out. They succeeded with the majority of the staff.

The CIA base contued the attack for 90 minutes.

The 2nd team at the airport tried to figure out where Stevens was and get transportation and added security to find him.

So in reality the real situation shows a firefight that took place at the consulate within 25 minutes of the first call for help.

Edit: Of course....something that has become the bread and butter of Conservatives....a lie is halfway around the world while the truth is still putting it's pants on.
But then again, who should you believe? Should you believe the person who was in Libya, possibly Benghazi, was a part of the conversation and reported it within days...or the regime's puppet who comes out a seven weeks later once the lies begin to fall apart?

The president said he told Pansy Panetta to keep those people safe. And Pansy Panetta said that mission is to dangerous. If that is true then why is Pansy Panetta still the Secretary of Defense? Do you see the easy, obvious lie?
 
Other than ABC, NBC and CBS aren't on news 24 hours a day so that would be an apples/oranges comparision to a 24 hours news network... Here are a few other things to note here:


1) Conservative punditry owns 90% of the radio talk show airwaves
2) Conservatives have by far the #1 24 hour news network.
3) Conservatives own the biggest ciruclated paper in the country. The WSJ and many other massive newspapers.​


The whine of conservatives not being heard in the media is such a farcical comedy.


We obviously need to be heard more if US citizens are still voting for anti-American candidates like Obama.
