Faux "news" will use Michael Bay's shit movie as propaganda.
How Fox News Plans To Use Michael Bay's Benghazi Film To Sink Hillary Clinton's Presidential Run
Spoiler Alert: It Involves Lying
"Breaking tonight. A Kelly File exclusive on the gripping new film that may pose a threat to Hillary Clinton's hopes for the White House."
That's how Megyn Kelly fired the first shot in Fox News' campaign to use a Michael Bay movie on the Benghazi attacks to prevent Hillary Clinton from winning the presidency. After their much-hyped Benghazi select committee fizzled, they've now pinned their hopes on the director of The Rock.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi opens in theaters January 15. Based on a 2014 book written by journalist Mitchell Zuckoff and five former CIA contractors who defended the diplomatic post and nearby CIA annex during the 2012 assault, the film aims to provide a dramatic eyewitness portrayal of the attacks and the heroism displayed that night.
Based on the 20 minutes Kelly spent on the film during her broadcast last night, Fox thinks it can be something more: a way to redeploy all the shoddy reporting and conspiracy-mongering they've pushed for the last three years as a weapon against Clinton's campaign. Interviewing three of the former CIA contractors about the movie based on their book, Kelly sought to revive long-debunked myths about the Obama administration's efforts to respond to the attack.
In the weeks to come, we can expect the network to devote significant time and attention to the "questions" supposedly raised by the film.
