Obama Blames Fox News For Benghazi During Pre-SuperBowl Interview

[Rozman]

Is there any proof that Fox News wansn't involved?

If FoxNews was doing its job, they could have prevented the attack

Huh?

 

[Rozman]

I had no idea FOX news was part of any branch of government.

You screwed up again.

FOX isn't news.

Apparently, Obama takes FOX seriously enough to agree to an interview with Bill O'Reilly. So, does he think "FOX isn't news"?

Take that MediaMatters crap somewhere else.

Obama likely understands that Bill O'Reilly has a large audience and knows first hand that much of what Fox Broadcasts is propaganda disguised as news. Of course he (should) takes Fox seriously, Limbaugh and the other far right radio broadcasters too. Not because they are truthful or even knowledgeable, but because they have the ability to fool some of the people all of the time.

 

[Plasmaball]

Seems fair to me, Fox news blames him for just about everything so why not blame them right back? Both are totally wrong but since when did that matter?

yeah for sure, lets have a President who act's like a petulant child because of a news station who REPORTS on his and comrades in arms administration's actions

you have the mind of a child.

Ever heard of the Fourth Estate? It is not part of our Constitution, but it is instrumental to how we are governed and who governs us.

Just to stay on track here - President Obama did not blame fux for anything.

"These kinds of things keep on surfacing, in part, because you and your TV station will promote them."

-President Obama to Bill O'Reilly

That was when he was blaming Faux for the IRS.......

Here's the part when the echo-chamber wants to say he blame Faux for Benghazi.....

O'REILLY: -- but I just want to say that they're -- your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn't want that out.

OBAMA: Bill, think about...

O'REILLY: That's what they believe.

OBAMA: -- and they believe it because folks like you are telling them that.

O'REILLY: No, I'm not telling them that.

Typical O'REILLY. All Spin Zone.

 

[Iceweasel]

Obama lies almost everytime he opens his yap and the liberals hate FOX News because it's the one TV source that airs conservative content. Even though libs get plenty of chances on it too. That fact alone shows what hypocites they are.

Why are they covering up?

Typical O'REILLY. All Spin Zone.

Acutally, boo, nobody else has the guts to "tell them that" he has a slew of media organizations protecting him--and their viewers--from reality.

 

[Iceweasel]

What did FoxNews know about the attacks and when did they know it?

Why are they covering up?

They know that it was reported by the administration that it was due to some anti-Islam movie a handful of people saw. Rice went out on the media trails selling it right before the election to help her boy look good since the spin was that Mr. O had terrorists on the run. Now they lie about it and try to rewrite history since FOX isn't letting it die like all the other Democrat media outlets. Next question.

 

[Sallow]

Obama didn't want anyone to think he was lying about winning the war against al Qaeda, so they made up this story about a video being the cause. The real cause was lax security and a fear of failure after the attack began. This is bad enough, but since the attack the administration has been involved in a cover-up. Nixon wash't impeached for breaking into the Watergate hotel. He was impeached for covering it up and lying about it.

This is just completely wrong on so many levels.

Only to a warped mind.

We've found out that Obama knew within the first 24 hrs it was not some protest. Yet he chose to tell the world it was for weeks. He never admitted to screwing it up. He even arrested the producer of that video.

What is wrong is this failure by his supporters to face the truth. They never question any bold-faced lie he makes. The latest is his claim that Fox dreamed up the whole thing.

It's just a pattern you refuse to see.

"My" warped mind?

Nixon was never impeached.

That's just one of your most glaring errors.

And the "lax" security was the result of Republicans cutting funding and the CIA setting up a headquarters there.

And Obama was and still is winning a war against Al Qaeda.

Last time this country experienced an event that was even close to 9/11 was when?

Please post the Presidents exact words from the interview to back up your claim.

Obama lashes out, blames Fox News during O'Reilly pre-Super Bowl interview - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

"Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn't want that out," O'Reilly said.

"And they believe it because folks like you are telling them that"

It's an obvious truth. This thread is a testament to that fact. Does anyone truly believe Fox (and the entire right wing echo chamber) didn't present that point of view?

It's okay. There was plenty of time before the election to get that message out. Didn't resonate well.

Only because most of the media refused to give the story enough air time. However, anyone who has been paying attention also knows that Obama and Hillary both admitted that they make military and security decisions based on politics. That is extremely risky, for the poor people that end up dying because of it.

Yes, it's always somebody else's fault.

Oh, and Nixon resigned rather then go through an impeachment.

And if you haven't been paying attention, al Qaeda has reestablished in Iraq and has become more diverse and harder to track. al Qaeda is spreading and growing more intrenched all over the Middle East. Obama hasn't even made a dent in their activities. They are more active than ever before. Especially after the Arab Spring. They now have a toe-hold in Syria, Libya, Iraq, the Sudan, and are trying to get back Afghanistan. He's actually helped rearm them. They're the rebels in Syria and Libya.

Still out there and growing -- al Qaeda on the rebound, experts say - CNN.com

Nixon resigned before they could impeach him. Congress was days away from launching impeachment proceedings against him. In fact, in 1974, the Judiciary Committee voted to start impeachment proceedings.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/watergate/articles/072874-1.htm

There was over $1.1 billion in embassy security funding, as stated in the ARB report. That's a lie.

How is Obama winning the war with Al-Qaeda when they have taken back two strategic cities in Iraq? How does winning against Al-Qeada involve mass withdrawals of our troops? You have to be fighting them to be winning against them.

What does that have to do with anything? Let me guess, Bush did it. Hey, did it ever cross your mind that for the 7 years following, no more attacks of that magnitude took place?

 

[rightwinger]

Why doesnt Fox deny their involvement in the attacks?

 

[mudwhistle]

The media tells us what is important.

They don't cover anything that will make Obama look bad for long. They won't cover the IRS harassment that is still going on, the NSA spying that is still going on, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the website still not working properly, they don't cover it. So, of course all of you libs think it's all about nothing.

Now that bridge closing. Now that's pretty damned important.

 

[Stephanie]

Fox is the number 1 Cable News outlet. They should have known that something was going down in Benghazi. Covering up for their inneptnes does not prove anything

Someone at Fox should take the fall for this

So should the Obama administration have known, and they have a lot bigger Army than Fox news. The people that knew in the Obama administration were promoted for lieing about the attack.
Don't you think CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS AND NBC should have done something as well, or did they not know?

Deflection

I'm tired of rightwingers covering for FoxNews ineptness in Benghazi. Any quality news organization should have been able to report the pending attack. Did Fox cover up an attack they knew was coming?

FoxNews dropped the ball big time on Benghazi

you all need tissues
you said Bush was not prepared for 9/11, Clinton wasn't prepared for the first world trade center bombing, Oklahoma city bombing, etc and Obama and Hillary wasn't prepared to take on Benghazi, our own military base here at home was shot up by terrorist sympathizer...deal with it

you all should stick with PmsNbc, they will lie to you about it all and blame everyone else

I laughed out loud when O'Reilly said, "Some people are saying".
