They both occurred at the same time in 2012. Rather than report on Benghazi (which the administration lied about, Hiliar lied about), Binders of Women got all the press. The effect was to bury the news that Obama's foreign policy was in flames, which would have hurt his reelection chances. It speaks to Obama's allies in the mainstream press' motives. Not journalism but to elect their candidate. Granted, Romney couldn't beat a weak opponent.
I'm way too lazy to do it, but I'd bet that if I looked, I'd find that Benghazi got way more press than 'binders of women' at the time, and has continued to ever since. Feel free to prove me wrong, though. barfo
Hey, look! NPR covered Benhazi. In December, after the election. http://www.npr.org/2012/11/30/166243318/chronology-the-benghazi-attack-and-the-fallout Fox News covered it. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-help-during-benghazi-attack-sources-say.html
i guess im just not sure what it is that you want. hillary made headlines for over a year about her emails. do you want to read about her emails forever? and ever? its the top story on the notoriously liberal foxnews.com as well btw.

Save covering this news until after the election. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/bus...e-ripples-through-Texas-as-health-8383391.php http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-covered-california-rates-20160718-snap-story.html
Do you want us to believe that? I thought you wanted us to believe that the FBI had 150 agents investigating Hillary for the past year (...and that she was surely going to be indicted). Since they only had a day to investigate Melania, the media must have had 365*150 = 54,750 people working on the plagiarism case. barfo
If you want to show that something isn't being covered by the news, maybe linking to news stories about it isn't the best way to make the argument. barfo
For right or wrong all of the news networks are broadcasting from the convention. Everyone is there covering it. The convention is news, anything that happens at the convention is news. Morning shows, local news, late night talk shows, they're all there. Mrs Trump's speech was big news because it was it's low hanging fruit. Some of you try so hard to spin things that don't need spinning.
I don't want anything. The speech didn't bother me. Yet I KNEW someone either sabotaged it, or fucked up royally. Looks like the latter. But in the grand scheme of it, big fucking deal. I was just merely pointing out the rabid hard-on that everyone got for the speech, yet the same people could care less about the email scandal. Yes I get it, it's their candidate so they don't want to know about the dirty laundry....but come on lets be real, that scandal is so much more worse on another level than a speech. So my point is really that they are a bunch of hypocrites. But likely everyone already knew that (except my facebook feed... )
No I don't believe it. But I do believe the media is really interested in making the most out of this. It's far more important than reporting on ObamaCare rate hikes of > 10% going on all over the country.
Linking to stories about Benghazi that came out after the election proves my point just fine, thank you. It's a sad day when only Fox News covers the important news.
So nobody should have ever mentioned Benghazi after the election? Your rules for the media are very interesting, to be sure. barfo
They delayed mentioning it until reporting on it would no longer harm Obama's reelection chances. You know, "Bin Laden's dead, GM is not" sounds a lot better than "Bin Laden's dead, so is our ambassador."
Ok, so are you saying that NPR didn't mention the attacks on Benghazi, in any way, until after the election, 2 months later? That seems very surprising, if true, since it was all over the (other) news. barfo
They certainly devoted many more hours to Binders of Women. With the intent to drive the real page one news to somewhere buried in the newspaper. In fact, Binders of women deserved no respected journalist's time at all. It was a gaffe, like Obama's 57 states one.
