Faux "News" is disputing New York Times Benghazi report

Deadly Mix in Benghazi: False Allies and Crude Video

The reality behind the attack on American outposts in Libya is murkier and more complex than initially believed, but months of investigation turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda had any role in the assault.

'AL QAEDA-LED EVENT': The Benghazi attack's many ties to terror group

CONTRARY TO THE FINDINGS of a New York Times report that local militias were responsible for the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, statements by House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and reporting by Fox News indicate that Al Qaeda was behind the deadly assault.

Oh it is just repukes and local talking heads with a bias.

That is the point I plan to make to any ignorant faux news watcher.

There is no point debating, they need to know that their ignorance is laughable.
