Krauthammer: ‘Media Are Somewhat Embarrassed’ By Missing Benghazi Dissembling (Video)
News Busters ^ | May 02 2014 | Brent Baker

Posted on 05/02/2014 5:11:39 AM PDT by PoloSec

Columnist Charles Krauthammer contended, on Thursday’s Special Report with Bret Baier, that the release of the Ben Rhodes memo has changed the media dynamic in interest toward the Benghazi scandal because journalists are now “embarrassed” over being “rolled” by the White House:

“What’s changed now, and we saw it in the briefing room, is I think the other media are somewhat embarrassed by the fact that, unlike Fox, they allowed themselves to be stoned and spun and rolled for a year and a half and now the memo appears and it’s obvious that they missed the story.”

I cant help but think this email was released on purpose.

Perhaps someone is trying to see if the public has been sufficiently deluded for the benefit of her Thighness and/or also to deflect current bungling by this administration.

Keep a close eye on tonight's Friday News Dump.

If they’re embarrassed, how come the issue isn’t featured on the MSM news channels? A couple of reporters might be annoyed and give Carney a hard time, but their networks aren’t picking this up and making it a featured issue.

Krauthammer is in CYA mode.

When the truth comes out, and it will unless they find a way to shut down the internet, people will realize there is no way possible the Washington elite didn’t know what happened at Benghazi because there are people on the internet that did know what happened.

There is records of people saying shortly after the attack this was Hillary’s operation and surprise! surprise! surprise! talking points blaming the video started from State Dept. and they began before anything had happened.

Krauthammer is going to try and convince everyone the entire news media has been taken by surprise and unlike people on the internet, the responsible news media don’t just speculate as to what happened, they wait and get the facts.

Thats what I am thinking. Obama is a lame duck. May as well throw him under the bus in order to distance Hillary from it.

Face it, Hillary Clinton is an empire. She can make anything or anyone disappear.

He is obviously unaware of the extreme efforts made by Israel to rescue Ethiopian Jews in the last decade.

I think that the media know what they were doing. They have been covering for this corrupt administration since 08. This is what you get wit communists.

“Rolled?”

Hahaha. Thousands of pajama media folks posting on their Xboxes from mom’s basement knew exactly what had happened. “Rolled?”

BS

The Lamestream networks and their talking head tele-gandists have outed themselves as coverup co-conspirators and fascist collaborators. They know exactly what they’re doing. Even Pravda during the 1960’s wasn’t this blatant.

The MSM unfortunately are proud of their slavish devotion to “the 0ne” and this WH. Like Hillary, they believe the line “what difference does it make” to spend any time reporting the coverup, the screwup in security and the manipulation of reporting for the benefit of the election in less than 2 months following this incident in Benghazi.

If only ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, The New York Times, The LA Times actually were journalists and did an honest job. They would have been after 0bama until the truth was told. So far only part of the truth is out and the 0bama admin. is still resisting telling the truth. We are getting closer but one question I still have is where was 0bama on September 11, 2012 and September 12, 2012 and why did he not take any action to respond to the terror attacks in Tripoli and Benghazi?

Stay on top of this as it would have toppled any other President prior to 0bama. If that is what needs to happen, then let it play out.

Remember they got their man re-elected by every means necessary. They (Crowley) lied to discredit Romney and falsely confirm Obama’s ‘action’. Now, well, whatever. They are not believable.

Krauhammer’s wrong. The MSM will help cover Obama’s lies and incompetence until continuing to do would seriously damage their ability to pose as credible journalists. They won’t quite fall on their swords for him.

because journalists are now “embarrassed” over being “rolled”

Heck, how can that happen when you are on your knees, wearing out pair after pair of knee pads while you have barry's member in your mouth and his scrotum banging your chin?

“The MSM and it’s talent of liars will be forever tied to the greatest political propaganda scandal in our nation’s history. They should all be forced to wear a “Scarlet J” for Journolista.”

What should happen is “if” the Republicans ever get the power again in all three branches, they create the “fairness” doctrine which will castrate the Left Wing of the MSM once and for all.

And I would start with no one from the government should be active in the media and vice versa for a 10 year period after leaving their job. And that is to in Ouse working on a campaign.
