It's even worse than this

Media is in the tank so bad for Obama that they don't want the truth to come out about Benghazi.  That's the gist of this post.

There may be no evidence a YouTube video caused what happened in Libya, but there's even less evidence that the media wants to know what really happened. There's a fine line between biased and completely useless, and sometime during the 2012 campaign our media crossed it.

It just now occurred to me though, that the people don't care either.  The media may be hiding this, but if the public was sufficiently outraged, the truth would get out, and these people would be in big trouble.

But they aren't.  Where are the people?  Don't they care?

Update:

Maybe the general public doesn't know all of the pertinent facts.  Let me lay out some thoughts based upon what I've heard about:

Obama had to have known about the attacks early on.  Yet he did nothing about it.  Now, let's compare that with Bush's response to 911 and its aftermath.  Early on in the aftermath of 911, the far left said that Bush knew about the attacks and let it happen anyway.  The public wasn't outraged at Bush at first, to the contrary.  The public supported Bush at 90% approval level.  But years of left wing carping managed to drag Bush down to the low thirties.  By the end of Bush's presidency, it was as if the left's narrative about 911 was the truth and Bush really did let it happen.  But here's the deal:  whether or not you believe that, here's Obama letting the attack proceed and not doing anything about it and it is in plain sight.  But nobody on the left or the media seems to give a damn.  And the public also is indifferent.  My question is this:  what changed?  Why isn't the public outraged?

Update:

Maybe it is possible that people turned against Bush because of Iraq.  But Iraq was a response to 911.

Obama said in a debate that he was winding down two wars.  It wasn't pointed out by Romney how we got into these wars in the first place.  We were attacked first.

So, are we to believe that it is a bad thing to defend yourself against an attack?

Have the people internalized this now and refuse to respond to being attacked?

How can the people be led to a proper response when the opposition, meaning Romney and the Republicans, won't defend the principle of the right of self-defense?
