Drop the fair and balanced stuff, it is just a lie. There is no fairness if all that exists are lies and fantasy. There is no balance if all the talking heads speak only Mind Speak to 'power up' Republican Push Button electorates.
In case no one 'gets it.' Those are trial balloons. That is all FOX and the Right Wing Media does with at least 75% of their material. They fly trial balloons to find what will work with the electorate for the GOP.
That is all they do and when they find 'something' that works for the Right Wing, regardless of the harm to the nation, they go with it. Baseless as it might be, they have a methodology to find deception that works for the GOP.
It is an understood feedback loop between the Republicans, GOP, Rove, FOX and the Right Wing Media that causes gross dysfunction in the USA and endangers citizens .
Lindsay Graham floated the political trial balloon that President Obama didn't make the early morning call to Benghazi. He makes these hideous statements for political fodder, not because it has relevance or brevity for the nation. The Graham statement was directly taken from the "3AM Phone Call" that is famously linked to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. So, it was a political attack on Clinton to benefit the Republicans. FOX then picks up on the political fodder and floats it on their airwaves.
This hurts the nation and provides legitimacy to myth and irrelevant banter. Whether the President made a phone or not has no relevance to the Benghazi attacks. The USA military was already responding by sending in unarmed drones to begin intelligence that didn't exist. There was no intelligence to deploy troops or send in planes or plan any retaliation.
Lindsay Graham knows full well, as does Inhofe, that their objections to any of President Obama's nomination is nothing but politics regardless of the danger they place the nation. FOX only facilitates that danger and they will continue to do the same if nothing is done to end it. The purpose to the statements and obstruction by Republicans is dangerous to the USA.
