Fox News Ends Interview after left-wing journalist calls Benghazi"small firefight"

What was the point then of putting on an obviously biased apologist for Obama on a “news” show. If he didn’t want to respond himself then he should at least have had someone on the other side to present both sides.

Take a look at the video - he was completely unprepared to deal with the guy and the guy left with a smirk knowing that he had gotten the better of the exchange.

And what on earth does the fact that Scott’s son is a West Point Grad have to do with any of this?

I like Scott. He’s a good guy. That doesn’t cause me to think he didn’t screw up royally here. And not limiting this to Scott, it happens all the time on Fox News.

There’s just no real fire-in-the-belly Conservatism displayed by Scott here.

Fox News staff allows the Left to score point after point after point after point without pushing back.

Ultimately that comes off as, “Well, Fox News doesn’t even disagree with the charges made. The charges must be credible.”

That’s not to say that at other times Fox News staff doesn’t push back, but you can’t allow any of the Left’s charges to be aired without pointing out the wildly inaccurate propaganda and letting it be left hanging.

This and the fact that we allow luke warm buckets of horse sweat like Bill Kristol to speak for Conservatives, just kills us over time.

Kristol wouldn’t know Conservatism if it bit him on the nose.

Thwe lefties on Yahoo who are applauding this miscreant have yet to connect the dots to realize that this guy expresses what the left thinks about human life. So what that ambassador was on their side. He is dead, move along.

The left won’t shed a tear when they start killing their own with Obamacare.

I don’t think Scott was trying to cover for the left, he just wasn’t too quick on his feet.
I can just imagine how Chris Matthews would have reacted in the same situation, or O’Reilly or Hannety or even Greta!

Jon Scott is a professional journalist. An emmy award winner at that. If he was hosting for Hannity your comment might be warranted, but he was not.
Additionally, Jon's son is an Army Lieutenant and West Point Grad. How many journo's can say that?

I agree, and I think The Shrew would agree with you also. He'll have to confirm it, if he wants to. This sure didn't seem to be the tune you were humming a few minutes ago.

Take a look at the video - he was completely unprepared to deal with the guy and the guy left with a smirk knowing that he had gotten the better of the exchange.

Once again, I agree. And once again, I think The Shrew would agree with you. Why didn't you just say these things to begin with?

And what on earth does the fact that Scott’s son is a West Point Grad have to do with any of this?

By the tone of his comments, it seems that The Shrew agrees with my take that having a son at West Point should cause a father to be more grounded than Scott seems to be here.

This obvious Leftist should have, and easily could have been destroyed in very short order, on the points he made. That he wasn't is an insult to decency.

To Ricks and Obama and the democrats and to the liberal media, the Benghazi terror attack and the four dead, is just “a bump on the road”. To them, they must never take their eyes from the greater prize, and that is to “win at all costs”. It’s the same mindset that justifies the murdering of the many millions in the Soviet Union and the many millions in China. It’s also the same kind of mentality and agenda which justifies events like the Holocaust.

"How many security contractors died in Iraq? Do you know?" Ricks responded. "Nobody does, because nobody cared."

From what I remember, FoxNews DID report on contractors when they were killed in Iraq. How many other news networks, besides Fox, spent any time on the four contractors who were killed and burned, and their bodies hung on the bridge?
