i thought ricks made good points about the whole thing, that it was blown out of proportion when compared to everything that's going on. let's not pretend that fox didn't go on and on about the attack for political reasons, rather than genuine concern.

Why would it matter which show David Gregory was discussing it on? He happened to be discussing it on The Tonight Show but that doesn't make his comments any less credible.

I don't think the incident was blown out of proportion. I would say it's a pretty big deal when one of our ambassadors gets assassinated. I think the last time it happened was 30 years ago.

I agree with you that if there is a negative story about Obama that Fox is more likely to run with it than the mainstream media. But on the other hand, if there is a negative story about a republican President, the mainstream media will be more likely to run with it than if the President is a democrat. Fox definitely leans right but the mainstream media definitely leans left. It's a wash as far as I'm concerned.
