Benghazi is the most important issue to FOX "News," Rush Limbaugh, and thus, all of Right Wing World. Though the charges of a coverup, and the various threads of conspiracy theory are tangled and vague, Right Wing World is either convinced that something is there, or they're really, really hoping that something will be uncovered.Watching Meet the Press and other political shows this Sunday showed the Republicans' concern over Benghazi to be what they really are.

I usually zip through it, along with Meet the Press on Sunday Mornings. FNS is easily the worst of the main 4 shows, but it's a tight horse race. David Gregory is a hack. Bob Schieffer is the closest to a journalist, but he's easily bowled over by a guest armed with talking points. George Snuffelupagus is okay, but kind of superficial. And Chris Wallace is thin-skinned, and transparently coming from the right. All of 'em suck, but they kind of set the news cycle for the week, so you can get a flavor for what's coming on Monday.
