    Do you Fox News viewers ever get tired of being lied to?

    A week ago, Fox News cited an anonymous source and reported that requests for help from the Benghazi compound were denied. The story was that the Obama administration turned their backs on Americans who were left to die. I have seen several people here repeat the story as fact.

    It's complete bullshit that was clearly created to try and swing the election.

    http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/1...ack/?hpt=hp_t1

    CIA officers responded immediately to calls for help, and it took them 25 minutes to reach the consulate.

    Here's a 4 star general on Fox News schooling their anchor-

    http://mediamatters.org/video/2012/1...geous-c/191079

    The sad thing is that I know the answer to the question in the title. It's no. Zero people will think about this the next time that Fox News feeds them lies that support their preexisting worldview.

    I do not watch Fox News and I am not defending them, but if you think that the CIA or any of the military officials will go on national television and tell the truth you are as gullible as the people that you are trying to denigrate. I believe this to be a fact no matter who is POTUS. They will always spin things to suit there purposes or to cover up mistakes until an independent source somehow proves otherwise. The documents about Lybia will not be available for around 25 years and even then they will be redacted to prevent any real info from coming to light.

    You compare Republicans to the Taliban. Do you really think you have any credibility left? The answer is no. Can't wait til next week when we don't have to see you massage Obama's balls with your tongue on a daily basis.

    I compared a group of religious fundamentalists to a group of religious fundamentalists. Fortunately I don't give a shit about my credibility with you. You said you hate interacting with me, yet here you are replying to all of my posts.

    Which story makes more sense? What motivation would anyone have to deny help to the compound?

    Also, I believe there is surveillance video showing the reinforcements arriving.

    The fact that you still defend that statement just shows how bias and partisan you really are. If you think you just lost credibility with me, you are stupider than I thought. And you were the one who originally said interacting with me was "tedious and depressing", yet here YOU are replying to all of my posts. We know that you think Obama has never done one single thing wrong and that Mitt Romney is the devil. I really hope Romney wins just because of how destroyed you will be. I think you would literally become depressed.

    Barry thinks Obama did nothing wrong? There's a shocker.

    Sheehan intentionally sought out as much media attention as she could get.

    Woods's complaint against Obama was based entirely on the bullshit story created by Fox News that requests for help were denied. He asked for the administration to come forward with details about what happened that day. That's exactly what they just did.

    Barry,

    I like you as a person, but it has come to the point that I have to ignore any of your posts until 2013. You have officially become the crazy religious guy that stands on his box with his bible in hand on college campuses telling everyone why they are going to die and go to hell. Believe me bro, there is no reason to try and defend your ideas on a poker forum message board to people you only interact with when you are online bored. No one is going to jump through the computer screen and stick their dick in your face and say you are wrong. If you have different views on a subject, that's awesome and you may be right but you aren't going to get anyone to say "You know what Barry, you WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG. I'm super glad you pointed that out to me." All you are doing is fueling the fire to make yourself even more tilted.

    Fox news broadcasts a lot of misinformation but so do nearly all new channels. I can't count how many times the liberal media has created hysteria and been wrong. From silicone breast implants , heterosexual aids in America, second hand smoke etc etc... The list is really endless and they have a near 0 batting average on all of these.

    That said, I have NO idea how Sean Hannity has a job. He may be the largest douche bag on TV.

    So other people repeated factually untrue things is reasonable...and me pointing out the truth is crazy. That's fair.

    Good thing that more reputable companies like CBS News would never do anything unethical to trash a Presidential candidate.

    You know... like run a detailed story "proving" George W. Bush was AWOL from the National Guard, using obviously false documents.

    Good thing that never happened. The liberal media is flawless and the conservative media is evil, obviously.

    Wait, you think second-hand smoke is not deadly?

    Hannity has a job because he is a douchebag.

    Reading is fundamental sir. I am not insinuating that they purposely let people die. I am saying that it is not implausible for them to cover up mistakes by lying to the media.

    Secondhand smoke consequences were overblown. That's what he was referring to. I hate secondhand smoke and am glad it has been eliminated in a lot of places, but not because I was afraid of getting cancer from exposure to it.

    I was denied a conservative talk show at my college radio station in 1992 because they had just fired Hannity for creating controversy three years earlier. This was when Hannity was a complete nobody.
