Fox Deceptively Edits Obama Remarks To Portray Him Dismissing Benghazi Attack Victims

Fox News accused President Obama of dismissing as a "sideshow" four Americans killed in attacks in Benghazi, Libya, by distorting remarks he made at a press conference.

During a May 13 press conference, Obama responded to a question regarding the September 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi and the initial talking points used to describe the attack.

Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson accused Obama of dismissing the victims of the attack as a "sideshow," using a version of Obama's response cropped by Fox:

When did Fox and Friends become Fox News? I thought it was a morning chat show. Opinion talk show.

Libs making fools of themselves again. Sheesh. You are all on such a losing streak this week.

Fox & Friends is an early-morning opinion talk show that begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and analyzes the news of the morning from a politically conservative perspective.

It continues with a variety of segments including interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents at any number of bureaus and analysis from the hosts and entertainment segments.

I like the National Anthem diddy they do at the top of the 5 am hour.

OOO-OOOH say can you see!!!

 

[hazlnut]

Weekly Standard says so!!

 

[hazlnut]

The Obama Administration has lied through their teeth about Benghazi from day one and everyone with at least an ounce of brains knows it including the Obamabots, but they choose to lie and cover for their leader rather than call him on the carpet because they are dishonest and dishonorable people and that is what dishonest and dishonorable people do.

 

[hazlnut]

Truth: the Consulate was left unguarded. Why?

Truth: Obama refused to send help after the knew it was under siege. Why?

Truth: Obama lied about the nature of the attack. Why?

 

[hazlnut]

And you ignored NBC editing the George Zimmerman 911 tapes to portray him as a racist? Shut the fuck up and sit down. The nerve of some people... I swear...

Stay on topic dopey.

Hillary in 2016!!!!!

Every Fox show is an opinion show disguised as "News"

 

[tinydancer]

I have little use for either extreme, but at least the left was able to admit it when NBC cooked the story.
The far right will swallow lies before admiting their Gospel according to Fox is yanking them around like puppets.

It was Fox and Friends not Fox News.

Much like Ed Schultz Show or Rachel Maddow editing for their political chat show; not MSNBC News.

 

[whitehall]

Every news network, blog site and wood mulch information source edits stories. Why do you think they call it the freaking editor's desk? Hannity and O'Reilly would be the first ones to tell you that they don't pretend to be reporters. They analyze news. There is no such claim on the left. They all pretend to be reporters including Matthews and probably the two clowns employed by the comedy channel that the left depends on for news. The sooner the radical left quits whining and playing cheap Alinsky games the sooner we can get to the bottom of the three or four or six scandals the Hussein administration is dealing with.

Weekly Standard Disproves Central Right-Wing Benghazi Claim


A central facet of the right-wing media's criticism of the Obama administration's response to the September attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya has been inadvertently disproved by The Weekly Standard.

For months, the right-wing media has suggested that the Obama administration had for political purposes attempted to link the Benghazi attacks to an anti-Islam YouTube video. According to this theory, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and other high-ranking members of the administration had highlighted the video as a "diversion tactic" to downplay the attack's connection to terrorism and cover up the supposed failure of American foreign policy that would indicate. But the original draft of talking points on the attacks generated by the CIA -- released last week by The Weekly Standard in an effort to demonstrate how those talking points were changed "to obscure the truth"-- prove that the intelligence community itself believed that such a link existed.

In the Weekly Standard article, Stephen F. Hayes highlighted how specifics about the involvement of members of an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group that were included in an initial September 14 draft of talking points by the CIA's Office of Terrorism Analysis were later removed by administration officials. Included in Hayes' report are images of the various versions of those talking points, which serve to drastically undermine the right-wing media's critique. Here's the first bullet point from what The Weekly Standard terms "Version 1":

We believe based on currently available information that the attacks in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. Consulate and subsequently its annex.

In the final version of the document, that bullet reads:

The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. diplomatic post and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.

What difference does it make Gertrude?

How many times can you use that picture for trolling?

 

[MondoBongo]

All this Benghazi posturing presupposes the idea that a rescue mission would have been completely successful. Because, as we all know, any rescue mission attempted by US military personnel is ALWAYS successful.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

That's a good question. Was fux ever considered a "news" network? Or, have they always been the PR arm of the GObP?

Anyway, not the first time they've lied and it sure as hell won't be the last. Thing is, the rw dummies don't want news. They want lies about Obama. Fux, beck, limbaugh, dredge - they fill a niche that legit news does not. And, the idiots eat it up.

And, for the rw's that makes lies okay.

I DARE any one of you fools to find a you tube from MSNBC that shows a provable lie. I DARE YOU.

Disgusting idiots.

Complete and utter bullshit because this asswipe blogger mangled the original screen shots from the Weekly Standard beyond belief.

Editing on steroids.



I had another thread decimating media matters on this.

Here are the real screen shots. And it's so blatantly evident that the blogger did a hachet job editing the screen shots.

And then made up his fairytale to go along with his edit.
