One reason Benghazi-gate is more sinister than Watergate . . .
. . . is that, 40 years ago, the mainstream media was in full-investigation / relentless pitbull mode from day one, whereas now the state-run propaganda arm of this regime is trying to run out the clock on the sordid truth coming to light before the election.

You're making my point. The MSM was on that stuff right away. Today, you have to look hard to find articles on Benghazi-gate, the Camp Bastion attack, the request to defense contractors to circumvent the WARN act and hold off on laying off employees, or any of the myriad other stinky shenanigans of this regime.
ReplyDeleteMy point is that it takes a long time for these things to play out and they do not necessarily mean that the beseiged Prexy loses his election. Really, the world is run by lawyers, for lawyers, despite what we poor people read in the press.
ReplyDeleteIt's hawks v. doves on international policy and Keynsians v. the free marketeers in this election. Then it all creeps slowly because of the lawyers in this government of laws, not men.
ReplyDeleteCommies v Patriots too.
