...And guys like Joe Klein help Americans NOT to see the enemy: Joe Klein: Benghazi Consulate Controversy 'The October Mirage - It Really Isn't An Issue' The Obama-loving media were out in force Sunday downplaying the significance of the White House's ever-changing position on the attacks on our consulate in Benghazi last month. After New York Times White House correspondent Helene Cooper called the death of four Americans "peripheral to what's going on right now" on Meet the Press, Time magazine's Joe Klein told Face the Nation viewers this matter "has been like the October mirage - it really isn't an issue" (video follows with transcript and commentary): [Link here for video: newsbusters.org [iframe title="MRC TV video player" height=281 src="http://www.mrctv.org/embed/117702" frameBorder=0 width=500 allowfullscreen=""][/iframe] JOE KLEIN, TIME MAGAZINE: Tomorrow night is fascinating because, in truth, these guys don't disagree all that much on all this stuff. They essentially have the same positions on foreign policy. This business about the, you know, the Libya consulate has been like the October mirage - it really isn't an issue. And so, once again, tomorrow, Obama is going to have a very strong position because his foreign policy has been largely successful in terms of substance, but in terms of style, he still has to climb -- re-climb the mountain and make a convincing case to the American people that they will be more comfortable with him in their living rooms the next four years. Honestly, have you ever in your life seen so many so-called journalists dismiss the importance of American officials being killed by terrorists? Makes you wonder why they all aren't forced to wear "Obama-Biden" buttons so viewers would better understand the propagandist nature of the reports they're watching and reading.
