A brief essay on the 47% comment by Mitt Romney and the controversy over Ambassador Rice's comments on Benghazi. This essay can be characterized as pro left. It is a quick read and its a non conventional look at these two events and how the media fell short. Here is an EXCERPT: CBS host Bob Schieffer actually asked that specifically. "Do you agree or disagree with him that al Qaeda had some part in this?" Schieffer when saying "him" was referring to Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf (President, Libya's General National Congress) whom he was speaking with just before Ambassador Rice. Her response: "Well, we'll have to find out that out. I mean I think it's clear that there were extremist elements that joined in and escalated the violence. Whether they were al Qaeda affiliates, whether they were Libyan-based extremists or al Qaeda itself I think is one of the things we'll have to determine." How the media and the nation did not jump on this and give Ambassador Rice her own Candy Crowley check the transcript moment I do not know.
