They're much too privileged and are always above any reproach, being the elitists that they are, and our masters.

Now, had we had a true fourth estate, Republicans wouldn't DARE hurl out lies as if they were truth because they'd know they'd be called on it and it would be reported in all news media what a bunch of liars and arrogant cusses they are. Had we had a true fourth estate, they'd know better than to run to each and every willing mic and journalist to spread their baseless lies because then they'd be treated as the Democrats are being treated now by the U.S. propaganda media - they'd be called out on them.

Its specific task would be to investigate how much taxpayer money has been spent on investigations of Benghazi.

Not all who died in 9/11 and 2003 Iraq were Americans. So thee's no need to investigate.
