MSNBC Edits Obama Dodging Question 'Is Hillary to Blame for Benghazi?'

October 16th, 2012 5:16 PM

Just how desperately is MSNBC trying to shelter viewers from the ever-changing story coming out of the White House concerning the four Americans killed at our consulate in Libya?

The network on Tuesday edited a reporter asking the President, "Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

REUTERS: How are you feeling about tonight?

OBAMA (smiling): I feel fabulous. Look at this beautiful day.

NBC: Are you aware Michelle voted for you yesterday?

OBAMA (turning to yell back): Thank goodness!

POLITICO: Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?

OBAMA: (Silence. Kept walking.)


As you can see from the transcript provided by Free Beacon and the clip from CNN, Obama answered the first two questions but ignored the one about Benghazi.

Yet when MSNBC played this sequence for viewers at 12:01 PM Tuesday, the clip ended with Obama's answer about Michelle voting for him.

And MSNBC has the nerve to call itself a "news network."
