OMFG FOX NEWS (the GOP propaganda organization)

Fox News cut away from President Obama's press conference with German chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday because people weren't asking Obama questions about Benghazi.


Snip.........

"We are not anticipating that that [question] would be about the situation with Benghazi, which is breaking news since the president has been talking, really," she said. "So if in fact somebody throws him a question on this topic, we'll go back to that joint news conference...we're going to move on here with what is breaking."

The network stayed true to its word, and didn't return to the press conference.

Because that's all they are. Not news. Opinions.

You have:

- The crazy old "get off my lawn" guy (O'Reilly)
- The crazy middle aged government hating conspiracy theorist (Hannity)
- The guy who will blindly serve any publicly traded corporation (Cavuto)
- The people who are just plain fucking stupid (Fox And Friends)

"breaking" news?

Now if it had been Romney up there with Merkel you bet Faux would have covered the entire press conference.
