Friday-Free- For All: Fox Hosts Slam MSM Media Hacks For Helping Regime Cover Up Benghazi Scandal

Nice Deb, quoting Mediaite:
One day after accusing the media of acting as President Obama’s “scandal condom” on the Benghazi story, The Five’s Greg Gutfeld was at it again, this time calling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert “media hacks” for their highly critical commentary on Fox News’ coverage.
“People died, but what difference does it make?” Gutfeld said sarcastically, echoing Hillary Clinton’s infamous Benghazi hearing question. “The story will probably die, like the four in Benghazi with the lapdog media standing down, making these so-called journalists co-conspirators in the Benghazi cover-up, and that’s comedy when you’re winning.” He summed up the position of Maddow, Stewart and Colbert like this: “They refuse to actually cover the story. Instead, they want to cover people who care about the story, because then that kind of absolves them from having to deal with the ugliness.”
"Bob Beckel got under Perino’s skin for comparing the nine hearings on Benghazi under Obama to the one hearing under President George W. Bush after 54 diplomatic missions were attacked and nine Americans died. “Are you kidding me?” Perino shot back at Beckel, saying the difference in this case is the “cover-up” that is yet to be proven. “What kind of comparison is that?!” Unlike Bush, Perino said, the Obama administration is trying to “sweep” this scandal “under the rug” and “pretends like their you know what doesn’t stink. That really pisses me off.”" 

 
Charles Krauthammer called State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell’s response to the Benghazi Hearing “pathetic.” Ventrell told reporters earlier today, ”We don’t believe that new information was necessarily presented that hadn’t been already either entered into the public record through congressional testimony or investigated by the ARB or otherwise looked at.”
