Left-Leaning Media Push Administration's Incompetence but Deny Cover Up Regarding Benghazi Attack

"Hey, I never said that I wouldn't make some mistakes that cost American their lives and then lie about it. I mean there's no cover-up. I just don't know what the heck I'm doing. Oh, and it was Hilary's fault."

It's all about the protection. The media's a flak jacket for Obama.

It's just wonderful to watch the media deflate our expectations from this presidency. I mean at one time Obama was the "light-bringer" and savior who was ushering in our post-racial era of endless prosperity. That's all gone. Now they just trumpet about about how cool Obama is and how many Hollywood friends he has-- along with endless excuses, fudged economic numbers, and smearing the Right.

And now we get their latest attempt at saving their guy. You see Benghazi was just a matter of incompetence, not dreaded a cover-up, according to the National Journal. Of course, that doesn't really explain why Obama and his people put the blame on a filmmaker and tried to play off the terrorist assault as an overly enthusiastic protest. More incompetence?

Four deaths, lying to the public-- including at the funerals, and a scapegoating all during an election year... but don't worry about it. It's nothing nefarious like a cover-up. It's just incompetence.

UPDATE:

Thought I'd add Joel B. Pollack's five key points from the Benghazi hearings so far:

1. Two "stand-down" orders were given while the Benghazi attacks were in progress.

2. The "protest" about a YouTube video was a complete fabrication by the Obama administration.

3. Cheryl Mills, Clinton's lawyer at the State Department, told witnesses not to speak to House investigators.

4. The diplomatic personnel on the ground acted with incredible, unheralded heroism.

5. Democrats came to rebut the eyewitnesses with talking points.
