Wednesday, ABC "World News" gave a dismissive 20 seconds of lip
service to a blockbuster report that revealed State Department emails
showing that the White House knew on September 11 that the assault on
the Benghazi consulate was a terrorist attack.
The emails documented
that within two hours of the attack, the State Department had told the
Obama administration that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit
for this terrorist attack.
This is news because White House press secretary Jay Carney said on
September 14: “We have no information to suggest it was a pre-planned
attack.” The emails show they did, in fact, have information suggesting a
planned terrorist attack, yet President Obama and his spokesmen for
days lied to the American people, falsely claiming it was a
“spontaneous” attack spurred by a “video.”
The email story broke Tuesday night on the "CBS Evening News." Since
then, the Media Research Center reviewed all of ABC News' programs, and
the network has almost completely refused to report this new evidence,
giving it a scant 25 seconds on “Good Morning America” and 20 seconds on
“World News” Wednesday night. “Good Morning America” skipped the story
entirely on Thursday morning, but did commit nearly 2 minutes to the
capture of a monkey in Florida. “World News” did not mention the emails
on Thursday night.
Yes, ABC News has covered the attacks in Benghazi but it is giving scant
attention to the latest development concerning the release of emails.
ABC is aiding and abetting the Obama administration’s cover-up of their
deceitful response to the Benghazi terrorist attack. There is no bigger
story than Obama’s Benghazi lie, and ABC, a so-called "news network,"
has absolutely no excuse for hiding the truth from the American people.
The questions are simple: what did President Obama know? And when did he
know it? These emails prove that either Obama knew it was a terrorist
attack and lied about it for weeks, or his administration is
historically incompetent. Either way, it’s major news and demands more
than mere seconds of total coverage from one of the three major
broadcast networks.
ABC has been shielding Obama from the Benghazi fallout for weeks in
order to help him win re-election, but the American people see right
through it. Their corruption is as obvious as it is unforgivable.
