MSNBC host Alex Wagner — who for months, if not years, routinely denied there was anything to Republican allegations of a White House coverup on Benghazi — now admits there MAY actually be a problem with the Obama administration’s response to the 2012 attack.
“There probably is something for Republicans to complain about,” she said regarding Benghazi, “for the American public to perhaps be distressed or dismayed about.”
But she hastened to add that Republicans “have effectively ceded all legitimacy on the issue” by refusing to budge on such a “fringy” topic — leaving out her key role in pushing the story to the fringe.
On Tuesday, government watchdog Judicial Watch released emails between top White House advisers and former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, documents earlier withheld by the Obama administration and only released after a lengthy fight in federal court.
The emails coached Rice on talking points for an upcoming Sunday show blitz and ordered her to explain that the attacks were the result of an isolated YouTube incident unrelated to President Obama’s broader anti-terror policies.

What a vile creature she is.
They won't have to spin it. Another distraction like MH370 will rise to the top of the charts.
Ya Think ?!?!?!
That’s the nature of presented news. Manipulation of the public consciousness. Amplified in today’s world of fast moving and immense information resources exemplified by shallow institutional memory and stagnative thinking.
I just made that up. I really have no clue.
Seriously, how many people watch MSNBC? A couple hundred?
Meh. I watched the clip. Not the way I took it. I took it more as an “even if” statement.
They still think it was absolutely nothing.
Did MSNBC make any effort to get the facts on Benghazi, or did it simply regurgitate the White House spin?
“fringy”??
I wish the journolists would have been there instead of Mr. Stevens.
. . . not that it should matter to Democrats, of course . . .
They’re leaving Bundy alone until they need the distraction...
Nightly News gave it 21 seconds in last night’s newscast.
It’s appalling that there has been no political price paid by Obama for publicly, in an international forum in the UN, heaping contempt on the First Amendment. It just goes to show that the general public doesn’t understand the constitution of our liberties at all.
“ceded all legitimacy”
How do you cede legitimacy on an issue after it comes to light that you were - and still are — right on the issue?
MSNBC’s standard reporting process...Nothing really important to see here folks!
Judicial Watch’s Farrell: Emails Expose Administration Lies

MSNBC and a host of other liberal outlets will “mention” it briefly in “news of the day” and you will probably never hear another word from them. They have a bit of egg on their faces and have to acknowledge it MIGHT have happened as Fox has reported.
