See that the ever vigilant and ever so objectively principled liberal media have decided that maybe, just maybe Benghazi was something of a scandal after all now that it appears the CIA was involved in some gun running with unsavory jihadist types - and that's all very good - but let's remember that this mess was a significant scandal before Langley joined the party - what happened at Benghazi did not fit the Obama re-election narrative which led to a failure to respond to the events in real time which may have cost some people their lives and then an attempt to lie about what had actually happened once the dust had settled. All of that is bad, sure, scandalous, why not, fine - but the real scandal here is that the press decided to treat Benghazi as nothing worth paying attention to even though there was ample reason to pay attention to it and that leaves one with the impression that the press deliberately ignored Benghazi, either out of willful deceit or as a consequence of a blinding adoration of their chosen one, in order to get Obama re-elected - and if you're not deeply troubled by that then there's something wrong with you.
