The news media is now awash in details about the terrorist attack and assassination in Benghazi Libya. You can almost follow the Ambassador's last footsteps from building to building. There are details about car chases and firefights that would be called "too Hollywood" if they didn't actually happen.
We also have a substantial email trail proving that the White House knew exactly what was happening on September 11th in Benghazi. There might even be live aerial footage from a spy drone the US had over head at the time.
We all saw the President and his minions lying about the assassination. They tried to hush it up and confuse it with idiotic Islamist tantrums about a movie that doesn't even exist.
I saw it immediately as a terrorist attack and a failure of Obama's foreign policy but, probably like you, reserved judgment until I had more information. That information would be provided by the news media. Instead the press skewered Mitt Romney for being critical of Obama's handling of this debacle while he was perfectly right to do so.
The thing about the cover up is how lazy the Obama administration was in its execution. Much of the information 'uncovered' about Benghazi isn't even classified. It shows both a disdain for the intelligence of the average person and worse: that the administration has come to expect the media to run cover for Obama's mistakes.
Its sad and racist. To think that an American President has to be held to a lower standard... why? Is it because he's Black? All you have to do is imagine it was Bush instead and then you see how much the media has sandbagged for Obama on this one. Its shameful. It tarnishes all journalists. (its important to note Bush would have been tarred and feathered for getting it right)
Why isn't the media doing its job?
I don't really need to know exactly what time it was in Washington when a grenade was tossed at Ambassador Stevens' car.
I want to know what the Ambassador was doing in Benghazi. What was the purpose of his shady meetings in a dangerous city without protection? There is still more to this story and I doubt any of it will make American's proud.
There are rumors out there that Ambassador Stevens was running guns to the Syrian rebels. He may have been running guns to Jihadist rebels.
Now factor in the election, and Fast and Furious, and you can see why some are entertaining the idea that Ambassador Stevens was declined the support he asked for because of the nasty business he was involved in.
Imagine the repercussions for the Obama Administration to have an Iran Contra scandal complete with cover up blasting into the election at this point into the game.
The kingmaker Journalist hero will be the one to find out what Steven's was really doing and why. Who told him to do it and who let him and three others die there?

Stevens knew too much about the smuggling of chemical weapons from Libya to Syria's muslim brotherhood rebels so they could frame Assad and gain support for an NATO armed intervention.
Obama killed Stevens with the help of the brotherhood IMO.
The legacy media would never touch this, and even years from now if a book comes out the legacy media will either smear it or ignore it.
