Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer had some harsh words for his fellow journalists Tuesday concerning their coverage of the murders of four Americans last month at our consulate in Libya.

During a Fox News Special Report segment about this matter and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's assertion that the buck stops with her on Benghazi,  Krauthammer said, "The media had to be shamed by Fox News into looking into this in the first place" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The buck stops also with the media. This Hillary action takes the heat off only one aspect of this scandal. The media had to be shamed by Fox News into looking into this in the first place. The other questions about the cover-up remain open. Let’s see if the media continue to pursue it the way they would if there were a Republican in the White House.

Let's see indeed.
