On Thursday, Heritage.org<\/a> posted an article about news coverage of the coming Benghazi<\/a> hearings. Recently emails obtained by Judicial Watch<\/a> through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)<\/a> have shown that previous investigations have not had access to the information they needed to investigate the attack at Benghazi.<\/p>\n

The article at Heritage reports:<\/p>\n

At a dinner with journalists in New York<\/a> earlier this week, CNN\u2019s<\/a> president indicated the TV network<\/a> wouldn\u2019t cover the Benghazi committee unless it was \u201cof real news value<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to be shamed into it by others who have political beliefs that want to try to have temper tantrums to shame other news organizations into covering something,\u201d CNN\u2019s Jeff Zucker<\/a> said in response to a question about the Benghazi probe. \u201cIf it\u2019s of real news value, we\u2019ll cover it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the dinner, Zucker defended CNN\u2019s non-stop coverage of the missing Malaysia Airlines<\/a> jet. He also suggested climate change was \u201cone of those stories that deserves more attention.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think Mr. Zucker’s statement is one reason CNN is rapidly losing viewers. I’m sorry Mr. Zucker feels that covering the Benghazi hearings is not something he needs to do–the hearings themselves have news value–Americans<\/a> want to know what happened that night and why we did not come to the aid of those under attack.<\/p>\n

The article also reminds us that the Democrats debated whether or not they wanted to be included in an investigation of Benghazi, even after more emails that had been kept from other investigations surfaced. The Democrats really did not seem to want to find out what happened or why emails and other information had been withheld from the investigating committees for so long.<\/p>\n

This entire investigation could have ended a year ago if the Obama Administration had simply provided Congress with the information they requested. That would have been so much easier.<\/p>\n
