Fox’s Brit Hume devastates Democrat guest over Benghazi

Respected news programs such as this must know that when they hire any political hack to be on a discussion panel that they will get political hackery in the conversation. (As they once did by putting Sally Kohn on the Bret Baier Special Report panel; she dropped the phrase "war on women" into a completely unrelated discussion.)

Human Events
Fox's Brit Hume devastates Democrat guest over Benghazi
 
"If we had a real media, every network would be ripping Benghazi apologists like former Rep. Jane Harman to shreds, the way Brit Hume (with a timely assist from Chris Wallace) did on Fox News over the weekend.

"After a laughably ineffective attempt to compare the serious questions about Benghazi to an Area 51 alien conspiracy theory – a slap in the face to the Americans who died in the attacks and their families – Harman actually tried claiming the Administration’s fraudulent “video protest” narrative was an intelligence failure.  When Hume calls her on it, she starts babbling talking points about how it was all just an honest mistake… without ever coming within a thousand miles of answering Hume’s questions.
...
"Listen to Harman’s response after Hume asks her who, exactly, in the intelligence community gave the White House spin team the idea that Benghazi was a video protest.  She appears stunned for a moment, then ventures, “I think it came from people who weren’t sure about it,” and then utterly fails to name a single such individual." 

 
She would have been patted on the back and cheered on MSNBC.
