Does the Press Have Anything Better to Do?

        In a recently published article by Matt Gertz, he explains how the press shifts topics from the government shutdown back to the recent catastrophe in Benghazi, Libya. As the press needs news to feed on, a biased accusation from Carney to Rosen was that he had been, "creating an exchange here for Fox." As this hearing goes on about the incidents in Benghazi, the questionings that Rosen had answered to gave the assumption that te was no excuse as to why they couldn't prevent the incident or use the military for protection and support. Rosen's only arguement for the incident was that there was just not enough ime for planning and preparation.

        Matt Gertz's blog is detailed and supportive as he even provides the actual video from the hearing to reinforce his arguements and information given. Moreover he provides extra links to other blogs that he had written in the past about Robert Gates actions of criticism towards conservatives. Due to the way Matt Gertz comments about the video, and his dedication to quoting particular questions and answers from the video, it is obvious how his intended audience for this blog was for the citizens in concern about the incidents in Benghazi. So that the citizens who lost a loved one have a better understanding of what could have been done and what hadn't been done to prevent this unfotunate event.

         After reading and understanding this article the readers can easily realize, there is little to no way you can disagree with the tragic events from Benghazi. With how much he explains the military's experience and knowledge in protection, time for planning should have been the least time consuptive activity in adressing this event.
