Media reporting of Benghazi hearings (Vanity for FReeper input)

Please post reports on how the media handles this story on the day after the hearings. I listen to npr in the mornings (I find it a good aggregator of how the hive is buzzing today).

I am in and out of radio range, but have heard nothing so far.

Will the story be relegated to Big Brother's memory hole?

There’s a nice 7 minute video interview by Greta of Issa which fairly summarizes what the first day’s hearing showed. Hopefully it will get some circulation.

Greta has done good work on this. She posted the transcript of the 10/9 background call from the State Dept.

Greta also did a great interview with John Bolton. She asked him what he thought about the hearing and he stated the WH and exec. branch response was due to Ideology. Greta stated she thought it was incompetence instead. He flat out told her she was wrong and that the Ideology response was much worse than incompetence. She immediately ended the interview.

20 seconds from Diane Sawyer. That seems to be the meme of the day

Saw two minutes on the c network this A.M. Nothing on the a or n network this A.M. Amazing, though not surprising. These three networks are circling the wagons for zer0 and klinton. Everyone knows it would have been wall to wall, thirty minutes on all three (a, c, and n), if it were republicans. Have to give all three of these networks a failing grade.

Security was removed. Chris Stevens was lured to his death. Just a bump in the road for the muslims in this administration.

If you look at the front page of the NY Times front page, you can find a tiny 20-word blurb about the hearings in the bottom left corner.

Obviously of near moon-landing importance is the news that a bicycle rider cheated in bicycle race in France.

For later when it scrolls down: Sawyer Spends 4 Minutes Channeling Liberal Angst Over Obama’s Debate Performance; 20 Seconds on Libya Dissembling

Now, keep in mind that Diane Sawyer is so stupid she didn't learn a d**n thing from this experience:

  "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury.
    And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be
    fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the
    courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."

Talk about spiking the story: Not only did the Boston Globe not have the story on the front page, it was also not in the linked articles on the front page.

abc radio at 0800 had three sentences on the lack of security. Not a word about the cover up.

All the newa that fits...

I got up late today after staying up late watching a recording of the hearings. I have been combing back through FR's threads for the day and haven't found one outside-sourced article about the hearings. Either the media is burying it or no one is posting threads about it. I'll put money on the former.
