Breitbart.com<\/a> posted an article today questioning what the role of the media<\/a> will be as the new revelations about the 2011 attack on Benghazi<\/a> emerge. The article reminds us that the Obama<\/a> Administration has tried to ignore questions about Benghazi by complaining that it is an ‘old story.’ Well, the reason it is an old story is that it has taken almost two years to even see the Obama Administration documents related to the attack. As those documents become public, the story becomes more interesting and the claim that it is an old story becomes less effective.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

That’s what makes me think the story has legs, perhaps in a way it hasn’t since October 2012. \u00a0Everyone knows <\/em>what this is: the White House<\/a> caught red-handed lying about the death of four Americans<\/a>, with documentation to prove it. \u00a0And it makes the media look ridiculous <\/em>for uncritically parroting those lies in order to get Obama re-elected. \u00a0Some of them did it out of blind partisan loyalty, but others just convinced themselves the Obama version of the story had to be true, through a mixture of ideology and their general warm feelings toward him.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The media has a lot of tough questions about itself to answer, as these new email revelations blow the Benghazi story into the stratosphere. \u00a0I don’t think they’re going to heed Obama’s “ignore this one more time and save me” cry this time. \u00a0More of them are going to begin feeling the sense of anger and betrayal Tapper talked about with Hugh Hewitt<\/a>. \u00a0Others might even retain some rudimentary capacity for shame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that so far, the only person who has done jail time for Benghazi is the innocent man who made the unrelated video. It would be nice to see that situation change.<\/p>\n
