WH Press Corps Openly Mocking Fox News and Bengazhi

"What did Jay Carney do. He went after me and Fox and said, "you and your bosses haven't been able to prove a conspiracy theory," as if I'm personally pushing this which I take offense at because I'm not."

Call the wambulance for Ed Henry! He is also being teased by others in the lunch room, call the principal!

BILL O'REILLY: Do they really believe it though? Do they believe it's a FOX story?

ED HENRY: There are many people in the press corps who believe it is a FOX story.

BILL O'REILLY: Really? It's not important that the U.S. military didn't mobilize to save an American ambassador, that it's it not important that the Obama administration mislead the world and they still haven't said that we made a mistake?

ED HENRY: People are going to have to defend their own questions or lack of questions in the briefing room, but I would note the last two days, Jon Karl of ABC News, Major Garrett of CBS News. Jim Accosta asking similar questions to the ones you and I asked. What did Jay Carney do. He went after me and Fox and said, "you and your bosses haven't been able to prove a conspiracy theory," as if I'm personally pushing this which I take offense at because I'm not.

BILL O'REILLY: When you you guys are having lunch in the White House little commissary, or whatever you do. Is it a topic of discussion how many in the national press simply don't want to cover this story?

ED HENRY: It comes up. And other reporters will, you know, kind of tease me about the idea that this is a FOX story, and, "what about Benghazi?" That we're going to just shout that at the president randomly, it becomes a back and forth.

Note: for some reason the text is repeated twice at the link....guess it bears repeating.

If they're scared of Hillary running in 2016 and want to beat this dead horse for the next two years, they're going to get one hell of a backlash. They've got a public that's got Benghazi fatigue as it is.

Both Jon Karl of ABC News and Major Garrett of CBS News have cashed more checks from Fox News/News Corp. than most of us will make in a life time. Leaving the impression that these "journalists" are independent thinkers that operate outside the Fox News bubble is pure horse shit.
