In the National Journal recently, columnist Ron Fournier put it bluntly: “Everyone’s Lying to You About Benghazi.†He said Americans were faced with a choice of two evils — White House spin and GOP conspiracy theories. Having examined this issue repeatedly since it first burst into the news, The Fact Checker could not agree more. Neither side has covered itself with glory here.
With all due respect to Rep. Gowdy, the chairman of the new select House committee on the Benghazi attacks, many of the questions he posed have already been answered — and fact-checked. Meanwhile, the White House has done itself no favors with aggressive spin on the issue.
As a reader service, we present in chronological order all 14 fact checks we have done on the 2012 tragedy in Libya, in which four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed on and just after the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. We have completed five fact checks of Republican statements, four fact checks of Democratic claims and five neutral or analytic examinations of the issue.

Basically it's throwing spaghetti against a wall to see what sticks.
Of course. This is the new normal. Lefties get to say anything and it instantly becomes a “fact”, and checked off as “done”.
No proof. No witnesses. No documentation. No photographs. No confirmation.
They said it, and it’s one-and-done.
This is what is being done in public schools too. No one really cares. Thus, my tagline.
So... The “benghazi attacks” aren’t Muslim terrorists killing Americans - instead, the “Benghazi attacks” are eeeevvviiilll Republicans complaining about the screw-ups in ther phoney Omama administration.
Who directed the response teams to stand down?
Why haven't any of the bad guys been brought in as promsed?
I don't think it's 'spaghetti' they're throwing or spewing...
(could've been at one time, I guess)
Jay Carney rolled out this meme last week at a WH press "briefing" using the that term at lease nine times and "Conspiracy" as a stand alone uncounted times.
The WaPo obviously took good notes that day.
You have to pay to get this kind of ass-kissing from the Washington Post. The old media folks aren’t just volunteer cheerleaders. They are paid cheerleaders.
No need to read past the first bald-faced lie.
How about we FReepers who are interested and have followed this have a look at fact check the Fact Checker?
The fact that he bleated back Carney's "conspiracy theories" meme is indicative of a possible bias. Ya think?
The rabbit hole on this is deep and its possible that the Fact Checker could have bought multiple pigs in pokes.
let's get busy.
The WaPo obviously took good notes that day.
They didn’t have to take notes, it was in the hand out.
The Left is very, very concerned about Benghazi and are doing everything it can to spike it.
