Analyst's note: Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren reports that a "good friend" in the Obama administration told her to direct colleague Jennifer Griffin to stop investigating and reporting on the deadly September 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. compound and CIA annex in Benghazi ... "in order to not ruin her career."
This is first such order Van Susteren has ever received in 20+ years of reporting. This and the additional cumulative actions of the White House on this matter indicates that the reporters were "over the target" on the matter otherwise why all the flack. Another reporter working on Benghazi at another news station had her computer hacked. Yet another reporter with another network has her Benghazi stories "slow rolled" and diverted. The State Department also fails to invite FoxNews to special events where news on Benghazi was being released.
Then we had to listen to all the silliness about a video…what was with that? Did anyone ever really think that was legitimate?
And there were many times in the months and years since September 2012 when Obama Administration officials would make comments to suggest that Fox was just doing the Benghazi reporting for political reasons. The Administration was doing what it could to deter and demean the Fox News Channel investigation. They did not want to give us the facts — so their strategy was to attempt to belittle and demean our reporting.
