News Comment #9–11.1.12
I’ll continue my trend in politics with this article.
According to this article, Hillary Clinton knew about the weaknesses of the embassy at Benghazi one month before the attack took place. I expect this from Fox News. Even though the attack took place a month and a half ago, they’re still coming out with new information. This concerns me. One, because I’m not seeing anything about this on CNN, MSNBC, or NBC. Two, it seems this is being down played because of the election. This article seems to imply a cover-up.
They use a few quotes from the State Department, but nothing of substance. The picture doesn’t really relate to the article. I think they should have used a picture of Hillary, or another higher-up.
This is a relevant story to the American public, but more specifically, relevant to conservatives. Overall, I’m not very impressed. The only positive I would take away is that they’re doing follow up on a very controversial issue, which is good.

I worry about folks who get their news from Fox. It has been giving this story huge amounts of time — probably more than it gave to Sandy, and there just isn’t a whole lot of evidence yet. It’s still being investigated.
Follow-ups are good. Yes.
