The Nuclear Deal with Iran exposes Benghazi Lie

News was made on two fronts in the House of Representative’s Committee looking into the nuclear deal with Iran but has gone unreported by seemingly every cable news and local news station on the air.  One has to wonder how such experienced and talented journalist could miss both sets of news made on that Tuesday by John Kerry but maybe this truly is more about viewership and ratings than anything else.  We all know that sex sells which is why movies and commercials are full of sexually implicit things, now we know that controversy gains viewers because instead of these stories being top news, they were pushed back for what? 

Well if this is true then let me be one of the first to clue this nation in but before I do let me also make one other thing extremely clear.  Nothing anyone says about this president and his administration is going to change the minds of those who truly despise him so this is not my reason for passing on what I learned on C-Span.  The purpose is to clear up the often misunderstanding that occurs when journalist chases ratings instead of facts.

The Myth of Benghazi has often been portrayed as the lack of accountability by this administration and the lack of punishment handed out to those whose failure contributed greatly to the loss of our Ambassador and other brave Americans.  Certain Republicans and so-called news agencies have been allowed to run free with this and often never challenged.  That all changed with the testimony of Secretary of State John Kerry on that Tuesday.  Before his time was up and leaving that chamber Mr. Kerry said something that made my hair stands up on edge.  He told anyone who was willing to listen and learn that two careers ended over that Benghazi mess as well as two other careers were seriously delayed.  In other words, two people were fired over Benghazi and two others were demoted or reduced in rank, statue and influence over the fatal mistakes made.  This information alone should have been enough to make anyone’s top story list but then it was not sensational enough probably.  Also among the Breaking News of accountability for Benghazi was another morsel of news that has gone unreported.

Secretary Kerry also corrected the tall tale about the Obama’s Administration’s not taking the security of Israel as serious as they should.  In his remarks to that particular individual, Secretary Kerry informed again all who would listen that not only was that a bold-faced lie but this president, speaking of Barack Obama, has done more to make sure Israel is safer than any other president in history.  What makes this breaking news is that it is just another accomplishment that does not receive as much coverage as say did the ACA website. 

Many speak of the legacy of this president and I know that he will measure among the greats but not now and not with the undying desire for ratings.  He will only be viewed as an accomplished leader by those who come after us because then and only then he will be viewed far less as the first African-American President and more as a President.
