Instead of Exposing Libya Bombshell, ABC Hypes 'Mystery Monkey' and Yawning Dogs
ABC News has mostly ignored the blockbuster revelation that the Obama White House knew, within hours, about the terrorist connection to the September 11, 2012 attack in Libya.
Instead, shows such as World News and Good Morning America
have focused their attention on more pressing subjects, such as yawning
dogs, "mystery monkeys" and a woman who only eats three different
foods.
On Wednesday Night, World News allowed a scant 20 seconds to e-mails showing that the strike on the Benghazi embassy was, indeed, a
pre-planned assault.
Yet, on Thursday, Diane Sawyer devoted a minute and 47 seconds to answering this pressing question: "...We know how contagious yawns can be among people, but have you ever wondered if your dog is yawning because you did?" [ MP3 audio here.]
Anchor Sawyer may not have been interested in news contradicting the
Obama administration, but she did allocate one minute and 42 seconds to
the capture of the "mystery monkey" of Florida.
The
questions are simple: what did President Obama know? And when did he
know it? These emails prove that either Obama knew it was a terrorist
attack and lied about it for weeks, or his administration is
historically incompetent. Either way, it’s major news and demands more
than mere seconds of total coverage from one of the three major
broadcast networks.
