That answer is easy. I am interested in getting the facts out on Libya. My vote will not be for either Romney or Obama nor am I registered with either party but in the past have been registered with each party.
While I disagree with many of the moves made by Obama (both on domestic matters and foreign policy) when they are made in the light of day then that is that. I don’t agree with them but am not suspicious of them. Do I feel that Obama’s foreign policy has been a failure? Potentially yes I do. However, I cannot say it will be better or worse then a Romney foreign policy. There is no sample to compare against and I do not fly to the conclusion that Romney will have as poor as a record as Bush did. If Romney does get elected and has a few years to sample and compare against Obama then I will give my thoughts.
In reality one of the two candidates will win and I will be disappointed with both of them. I don’t give the benefit of doubt to any administration, Obama’s or Bush. While you think I may support Bush, you are wrong. His policies were an unmitigated disaster especially with regards to Iraq. My perception of how the press treated Bush is different then yours. While you dug up 3 examples of the media cowtowing to Bush, I found many many other exceptions to that behavior (Dan Rathers story) (especially over the last few years of his tenure) but didn’t find it relevant to this post as it would have diverted the point of the post. Again we have differing opinions on the media treatment of each administration.
Admittedly FOX is a very easy target and indeed they have an agenda stemming from the owner. I simply view them as a counterweight to other media outlets which I feel are a bit more liberal. I take it all with large grains of salt. However it does appear that FOX is driving harder at reporting on the Benghazi sequence of events or at least they are reporting more on it. I understand that they are doing so simply to push the agenda they have. Parsing speculation from facts is the hard part with FOX however there are facts mixed in (at least with this particular story).
Like you said, it will come out (hopefully) in the near future. I wonder however if it would have all come out if FOX did not uncover what they had uncovered.
(Sorry for diverting my original post) hopefully I answered your questions and yes I did bring up the media treatment of Bush.
