The Liberal Media Has Fallen For The Tactics Of Fox News And The Repugs.....

Fox has been fueling the fire on the Benghazi issue along with the Repugs and the Liberal Media instead of ignoring it has taken the bait and are stoking the fires by continually talking about it on the news shows and liberal radio. If they would have just ignored it - it would have died a slow death on Fox - but by all the Sunday shows and today's liberal/progressive radio personalities talking about it and taking phone calls on it - they are just extending the life of this non-issue longer than it needs to be.

They were lured into it by Fox. This is what they intended to do and they have been successful at keeping it in consecutive news cycles.

It's not a news network. It's a virus and it's slowly killing everything it touches.

the IRS story, which has the potential to be far more damaging (IRS implements a lot of Obamacare, remember).

to distract the masses. Way too much attention being paid to the bipartisan robbing of us all blind these days.

An impeachment trial will polarize us into our Red and Blue camps, which they need, and provide lots of distracting material for the news shows while our schools are quietly, bipartisanly, privatized and the Trans-Pacific free trade assault is approved.
