It now appears that Obama’s administration went beyond just stalling or being uncooperative, and were actively trying to silence the coverage of the attack by Fox News.
As more
and more truth is discovered about the Benghazi terror attack on 9/11/2012, the more that the
Benghazi coverup spun by the White House is collapsing. Even liberal
bastions like MSNBC and the New York Times
have reluctantly admitted there is a coverup.
The vast
majority of Americans want the truth about Benghazi, and are demanding
a special investigation to uncover it.
The
American people are beyond tired of the stalling and uncooperative attitude
displayed by the White House towards Congress and certain members of the media.
It now
appears that Obama’s administration went beyond just stalling or being
uncooperative, and were actively trying to silence the coverage of the attack
by Fox News. Greta Van Susteren wrote about it on her blog.
(H/T: Newsbusters)
“After Benghazi on 9/11/2012, the Obama administration tried very hard
to discourage Fox News Channel from reporting on it. The effort was obstruction
– pure and simple.”
“They
tried to prevent the truth from coming out and the Administration tried just
about everything to discourage Fox from investigating and reporting,” she
continued. “All the American people wanted, and all I ever wanted, was just the
facts – why did 4 Americans die? What happened?”
“The
Obama Administration put out that phony video story — but who could not have
been suspicious of the Administration after hearing that?” Van Susteren asked.
“Frankly, if they had been candid on day 1, the Benghazi story would have been over in short
order. It would not be to the point we are now: with a Senate Bi Partisan
Intelligence Committee report with the very painful conclusion that the murders
at Benghazi could have been prevented.”
Greta
shares some specific proof that validates her claims of White House
obstruction.
In the
early days after Benghazi, the State Department omitted only Fox News Channel from
its conference call to all the media when it claimed to be answering questions
about Benghazi for the media. Our friends in other media
outlets were scandalized that Fox was not included and told us all about it.
They were suspicious of State Department forgetting us/Fox and courageous to
tip us off. The State Department claimed it was accident and not intentional.
And then
shortly thereafter, there was the CIA briefing about Benghazi at the CIA for all the networks – except one: Fox
News Channel. The CIA would not let Fox News Channel attend. [...]
And
there were many times in the months and years since September 2012 when Obama
Administration officials would make comments to suggest that Fox was just doing
the Benghazi reporting for political reasons. The
Administration was doing what it could to deter and demean the Fox News Channel
investigation. They did not want to give us the facts — so their strategy was
to attempt to belittle and demean our reporting.
Even
more specifically, Greta says that she was warned by a friend in the
administration about Fox reporter Jennifer Griffin, and was told to rein her
in, as she was asking too many questions and digging too deep.
[M]y
friend told me that my colleague Jennifer Griffin, who was aggressively
reporting on Benghazi, was wrong and that, as a favor to me, my friend in the
Administration was telling me so that I could tell Jennifer so that she did not
ruin her career. My friend was telling me to tell Jennifer to stop her
reporting. Ruin her career?
In 20
plus years, I have never received a call to try and shut down a colleague – not
that I even could – this was a first.
Told by
her friend that Griffin was wrong in her assessments of Benghazi, Van Susteren demanded proof that her
colleague Griffin was wrong.
I got no
proof. Zero. I smelled a rat. Favor to me? Hardly. My friend was trying to use
me. I feel bad that a friend did that to me, tried to use me for a dirty
reason. I knew then — and it is now confirmed by BIPARTISAN Senate Intelligence
Committee — Jennifer was getting her facts right. I think it is really low for
the Administration to stoop this low.
This
news doesn’t really come as a shock to anybody. A vast majority
of Americans believe that Obama is covering up the truth of Benghazi. It is not a stretch to think his
administration would warn and shun certain reporters and news organizations
that posed a danger to their cover story.
Th Obama
administration has gone to great lengths to disguise the true events of
Benghazi, from changing
the original talking points for the media, to changing
the names of survivors to prevent their stories from reaching the
public. It is time for a special select committee to fully investigate Benghazi and hold whoever is responsible to full
account for their actions.
Please
share on Facebook and Twitter if you are unsurprised that Obama’s White House
tried to prevent Fox News from covering the Benghazi terror attack.
