Journalist Tom Ricks Gives Fox A Talking To About Its Coverage Of Benghazi

Posted by Ellen -383.80pc on November 26, 2012 · Flag

Journalist Tom Ricks is a textbook example of how real journalists and Democrats should handle an appearance on Fox News.  Sadly, Bob Woodward could take a lesson.

Media Matters has the transcript:

RICKS: How many security contractors died in Iraq, do you know? ...Nobody does, because nobody cared. We know that several hundred died, but there was never an official count done of security contractors dead in Iraq. So when I see this focus on what was essentially a small firefight, I think, number one, I've covered a lot of firefights. It's impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of Republican Party.

Oops, time was suddenly up!

FOX can’t handle the truth when it’s shoved in their faces. What a bunch of assholes. Good on Mr. Ricks for speaking bluntly & truthfully.

Love how he says “You’re welcome.”

I have a feeling that segment was not planned to go 1:47. Two truthful answers from Ricks led to a “Thanks for being here”. Ouch.

I kinda wish Ricks would have worn his Pulitzer medal for the interview. Just to mess with FNC just a bit more.
