The vast majority of the coverage attempted to implicate the Obama administration in some kind of cover-up regarding the attacks (despite the State Departments Accountability Review Board, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the House Intelligence Committees failures to uncover any evidence corroborating such a claim); 402 segments accused the White House of lying about Benghazi, while 281 directly accused the Obama administration of engaging in a cover-up. Another 224 erroneously questioned whether President Obama called the attack an act of terror, and 230 questioned whether the presidents response was dictated by his 2012 re-election campaign.
An additional 100 segments accused the Obama administration of issuing a stand-down order to prevent troops from responding to the attacks, even though military officers have testified that no such order existed.
Fox hosts werent the only ones getting in on the action. The five shows interviewed 149 members of Congress and the Obama administration about the attacks; true to the networks Fair and Balanced form, 97 percent of them were Republicans.
Although no evidence has emerged to support any of the conspiracies on which Fox has focused, the network has given no indication that it plans to stop obsessing over the tragic topic. On Tuesday, Fox & Friends host Elisabeth Hasselbeck (who happens to be married to a retired NFL quarterback and is related by marriage to two more NFL playersno conflict of interest there) even found a way to link the attacks to the domestic violence scandal plaguing the league.

Gramps McCain tries to bring the whine, but he can't make anything sound different anymore so it's just just one long boring sound when he talks. Rand Paul, he has the genes for whining from his old man, but everything they say is whining so no distinction there...
