Greg Gutfeld: "This Isn't Just Benghazigate, This is Mediagate"

New emails suggests White House aide Ben Rhodes was involved in prepping Susan Rice for her video explanation for Benghazi. The White House had previously denied involvement. But now we see their role in the election spin regarding the attack. So the answer to who pushed the video is the committee to reelect President Obama and that committee includes the White House and the docile media.

For them, getting those Americans out was less important than getting their guy in.

Bingo! The unhealthy alliance that exists between the top staff at the whitehouse and the media powerheads is the story. It’s a classic RICO case if there ever was one.

Throw in the fact that the wire services in general and the Associated Press in particular constitute continual virtual meetings of people of the same trade - journalism in this case - and the effect of that is precisely as Adam Smith projected:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
A RICO antitrust suit is required. The conceit that journalism is objective is not germane to the First Amendment, and there is no reason in law or morality or philosophy which requires us to make that assumption. To the contrary, any law (i.e., “campaign finance reform”) which is nonsensical without the assumption of journalistic objectivity is nonsensical indeed, for the criterion of “time will show” says that journalism is NOT objective.
