Recently, you may have seen a Congressional hearing over the attacks in Benghazi, in which 4 Americans (including an Ambassador) were killed. That attack should be well know by most, and I won't go into all that part.
When I wrote about some of that hearing, and in particular about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony, I did get a response from one person. That person said that they were disappointed at the partisanship that was displayed in that hearing. I suspect, that is from a viewpoint that all we seem to see today, is a very divided electorate on most every issue presented. And I mostly agree. I won't assume the person was suggesting a one-sided display only. It was both ways, to be sure.
But in this case - it is MY view - that "partisanship" was shown far more by the Democrats. If anyone watched, with a truly objective eye, the Dems in that hearing spent most there time offering glowing comments about and to Sec. Clinton. And I can not recall any truly "objective" or "critical" question asked by the left. If I missed them, please correct me.
But let me pose this thought - IF, by any real measure, one side asked appropriately critical questions of anyone, then the other side asked "softball" (or no) relevant questions, one could look at the very one-sided line of questioning, as being "partisan". The absence of object inquiries by one side, should not make the other side's questions, to be called partisan. Both sides should be asking critical and investigatory questions.
Now, add to that, a majority of reporting (media), commenting that the only one side was overly critical, and some may come away thinking that is true. In MY view, the media has kowtowed so much to one side, to the point of actually supporting one side, that we can no longer depend on them to provide us, the people, with dependable information to make informed decisions on who we vote for. And that goes for both sides and most media. I happen to believe that MOST major news media, weighs heavily to one side. (I used to think CNN was THE place to expect objectively balanced and honest reporting - GONE!)
There are so many unanswered questions surrounding the attacks on our people in Benghazi. And few answers. That hearing should have been a time to get some answers. But it didn't. It didn't, in MY view, because Clinton was protected by one side, therefore skirting most of the issues. And the media played along.
