Fox News' obsession with Benghazi: over 1,000 meaningless segments

The sheer irrelevancy of the right wing news propaganda outlet is clearly evident as its sole purpose is to attack Obama, regardless if he merited or not.

There's been ample opportunity for the supposed 'news' organization to cover actual news in a 'fair and balance' way but studies have shown that Fuax Noise is just that: noise. Noise for the duped chump and low information voter who are more interested in espousing cynicism than they are in providing information. Teabaggers are not interested in information, they are solely interested in propaganda that continues to stoke their xenophobic right wing asinine ideology.

A new study further proves how petty and dumb the network and its viewers have become as they devoted more than 1,000 segments (dithers) on Benghazi:

  • 1,098 total Fox News evening segments that included significant discussion of Benghazi -- an average of about 13 segments per week
  • In 18 of 20 months studied, Fox ran at least 20 Benghazi segments per month, with a high of 174 in October 2012
  • 382 segments aired on Special Report, the network's flagship news program
  • 478 segments invoked the talking points used for Susan Rice's 2012 Sunday show appearances
  • 281 segments alleging a "cover-up" by the Obama administration
  • 144 interviews of GOP members of Congress versus only five interviews of Democratic members of Congress and Obama administration officials
  • 120 comparisons to Iran-Contra, Watergate, and the actions of the Nixon administration
  • 105 attempts to link Benghazi to Hillary Clinton's potential presidential ambitions
  • 100 segments promoting the lie that the administration issued a "stand-down order"  
Out of the one thousand or so segments of the Benghazi event, let us ask, what has Faux Noise contributed that so far we have not already known? 

We still know that not that far away a special CIA security force was at hand to help ambassador Stevens and his crew but were not ordered to go and help them to avoid their apparent doom at the hands of the Jihadis.

Faux Noise does NOT care about the incident itself. They care about using it as propaganda against Obama as much as they can. Now they are using the event to go after Hilldog. Well, I don't like Hilldog and I don't want her to be president either, but I don't even think she's to blame for Benghazi.

If the teabaggers really cared about ambassador Stevens (a gay man by the way) they would ask their go-to guy Gen. David Petreus who at the time of the Benghazi event he was in charged of the CIA assets that provided security for the embassy in Libya. Yet, and I think this question should have been asked by Media Matters, why hasn't Faux Noise ever looked at Petreus and his involvement in Benghazi? 

The answer is simple. Petreus is their man. He is the neo-con teabagger Bonaparte of our modern time. Him and General Carter Hamm have been, including under the Obama White House, pushing forward with reactionary war-mongering activities and policies in the middle east. Petreus makes no secret of his support and campaigning for Mitt Romney for president and it is quite interesting that this incident had to happen just a few months before the 2012 presidential election.

Faux Noise's propaganda gimmick is so apparent and pathetic that even though they love to dwell into conspiracy theories they failed to take note of the obvious Petreus and Romney connection and the possible attempt by Petreus to make Benghazi an October surprise against Obama.

The hacks at Faux Noise are so fucked up in the head they can't even do conspiracy theories correctly. It's that bad folks.
