29. Unfortunately, Fox still has the power to repeat misinformation

Mon Nov 19, 2012, 05:05 PM

Nov 2012

until the mainstream media picks it up. I see that CBS and NBC have now begun to report that 'the talking points will be investigated.'

However, we have the power of social media now, so it is much easier to point out their lies and hypocrisy. We also have an electorate that told the Republicans to f*ck off.

Not many people know the Republicans voted to cut funding for embassy security, but if this investigation moves forward, they'll find out soon enough. It will also remind people how Bush failed to protect 3000 Americans on 9/11/2001 and how they continue to defend the other Rice, who lied continuously about mushroom clouds and wmds.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
