How Democratic & Republican Party Chiefs Work to Deceive the U.S. Public

An organization that typically promotes the Republican propaganda agenda received information from the Democratic Obama Administration, and they publicized information from it that concerned the 2012 Benghazi attack, which was a failure by the State Department — something that congressional Republicans have been investigating for years. But when independent investigative journalists examined the actual documents, they found a much uglier picture, which concerned the entire U.S. Government, and evil policies that are being pursued both by the Democratic President and by Republicans (as well as by some Democrats) in Congress, and which ‘both sides’ want covered up instead of covered. So: they’re not covered. U.S. ‘news’ media haven’t been reporting any of that — just the partisan propaganda. The American public received propaganda, not news, from America’s ‘news’ media — or else they received nothing at all about the issue.
On 18 May 2015, the Republican Party’s Judicial Watch organization headlined, “Judicial Watch: Defense, State Department Documents Reveal Obama Administration Knew that al Qaeda Terrorists Had Planned Benghazi Attack 10 Days in Advance: Administration knew three months before the November 2012 presidential election of ISIS plans to establish a caliphate in Iraq. Administration knew of arms being shipped from Benghazi to Syria.”
Promptly, this angle on the matter was publicized to ‘news’ consumers on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, AIM, The Tea Party, LJ Review, Political Brew, InfoWars, Hebrew Nation, Zero Hedge, and Sharyl Attkisson, among other right-wing sites. But the major scandal that was displayed in those documents wasn’t so much as even touched upon in any of this stenographic ‘news’ reporting, from conservative sites, which passed along to their readers that conservative propaganda.
If anything, the mainstream “liberal” sites, such as The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN, were no better, and maybe even worse: they ignored this data-dump altogether; they didn’t cover anything in it, not even the propaganda that the Republican sites did from it.
